Another high path.
Many years ago some friends and I were hiking one of thoe insanely high, narrow paths in Utah when we came across a panicked woman, nearly frozen with fear. Her asshole hiking companions had gone on without her, telling her to go back to the trailhead and they'd meet her there in a couple of hours. But she was too scared to move.
We had hiked half an hour getting to that point, but my friends and I did the right thing and escorted her back down to the trailhead before retracing our way back up.
Scariest trail I've ever hiked.

I am positive a right wing conman will eventually drill that well.
I have no clue who it'll be, but I kind of doubt it'll be Carlson. His con is Christian in flavor, and he'd have to shed a lot of marks to gain a few.
I'm guessing it'll be a less popular, relatively irreligious (but not stridently atheist) political huckster, with a similar audience, who sees the light of Allah and sheds a few hundred thousand low-paying marks to convert a different few hundred thousand low-paying marks into ludicrously high-paying ones.

I got off on the tangent of looking up the IAU rules and conventions for naming solar system bodies and the features on them. As I figured, it's a complex thing. Different objects and classes of them have their own themes. But always, there are exceptions, and they can basically override any of the rules if they want to.
There are two broad subdivisions. The IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) handles the names of planets, their moons, and any surface features on them. The Working Group for Small Bodies Nomenclature handles the names for the minor planets, asteroids, and all that.
For the Moon, the broad theme is craters are to be named after explorers, scientists, and engineers. Mountains and mountain ranges are to be named after terrestrial mountains and ranges. That's the general convention.

Sure they can; it just won't be anybody the original audience can stand. What about that fat woman the played the president in that Die Hard rip off? She was throwing around 250lb stuntmen. She wouldn't even need that eye patch because only men are weak enough to lose their eyes.
And instead of rescuing the President, his dying words are to appoint her President. Rooooll credits.
I'm glad i got to see so many good movies as a youngster. We're living in the age of full f**king r*tard right now and I don't think it's going to end any time soon.
addendum:
fat woman president action movie
Answered my own question. Snake Plissken will be played by Viola Davis who STUNNED the world by actually beating up stuntmen real time in G20. (that's a lie but all these **ckers do is lie so I will too.)

The deal, which was for a combination of stock and cash, will help Amazon create consumer services for people to connect their devices to satellite internet capabilities. The company said it planned to use its satellites to offer voice, data and messaging services beginning in 2028.

It's a shame. Adkins is totally better on fight choreography... he's a really technical action star.
But Statham is great too. Not so much on the fight scenes, but he has a less pretty-boy look, and the gravelly voice makes acting basically unnecessary for him, lol.
Foster is the best fighter of the three - but his acting is nonexistent. Which is don't think is really an impediment to playing Plissken. You could probably coach him up in three days.

Quick Hits
Paul Sperry"Moderate" Democrat and Deep State operative Abigail Spanberger just signed away Virginia's electoral college votes, pledging the state to cast its votes according to the national public vote. Note that this compact does not take effect until states having electoral votes totally 270 or more join it. The Maryland Man who set fire to a multimillion dollar paper warehouse and burned it to the ground compares himself to Democrat Thrill-Killer Luigi Mangione, and he means that as a compliment to himself.
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: IC IG Michael Atkinson, an Obama holdover and former aide to Russiagate operative Mary McCord, "weaponized the whistleblower process" against Trump by 1) failing to conduct basic due diligence and 2) willfully exceeding his statutory jurisdiction by altering the whistleblower form to no longer require firsthand knowledge as a prerequisite for reporting complaints in order to facilitate fake impeachment "whistleblower" Eric Ciaramella's 2019 hearsay complaint against Trump, an ODNI investigation has found based on hundreds of newly declassified docs
The 29-year-old man charged in connection with fires that burned down a paper products warehouse in California was allegedly motivated by anti-capitalism sentiment and compared himself to Luigi Mangione, authorities said Friday. Chamel Abdulkarim, of Highland, California, was charged by federal authorities with arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce, Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney, said at a news conference Friday morning. Abdulkarim is accused of intentionally starting multiple fires at a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse on Tuesday. The warehouse was located in Ontario, about 40 miles east of Los Angeles, and was owned by the consumer goods company Kimberly-Clark Corp. ...Speaking of Luigi Mangione: Creepy New Manson Girls praise Mangione as a "real life superhero" and, threateningly, declare "we have more work to do." You can imagine what they mean by "work." AWFULs are jealous, envious, spiteful, status-craving, crab-in-a-bucket-tugging, tall-poppy-cutting lunatics:
There were at least 20 people at the warehouse when the fires began, authorities said, but no one has been reported injured. ,,, The first state charge carries the special circumstance of the damage from the arson reaching more than $10.1 million, Anderson said. That charge carries a penalty of 10 years to life. An initial estimate found the paper products inside the warehouse to be worth $500 million, with the building itself worth $150 million.
...
Essayli said that in a phone call, Abdulkarim allegedly "compared himself to Luigi Mangione."
Internet detectives are comparing the beard and jawline of the man seen in the Rapewell hotel video, as well as the short stubby black Nikes the man was wearing.
They appear to be a match for Rapewell's best friend and roommate, Senator Ruben Gallego.So…

Sharyl Attkisson
@SharylAttkisson 35m Remember when the Obama FBI visited CIA chief David Petraeus and let him know they somehow knew he was having an affair?
But they also told him don't worry. They said they'd determined he didn't break any laws and they'd keep it quiet.
Then, a year later when Petraeus wasn't playing nicely with the Obama folks on the coverup regarding the Islamic terrorist nature of the Benghazi attacks, suddenly Petraeus is "outed" for his affair and forced out of office.
The timing is interesting, no?
It's almost as if power brokers in govt. collect files or "dirt" on important people, then let the people know the files or "dirt" exists to keep them in line.
Then, when and if those folks fall out of line, years old allegations and stories are leaked to the media.
And the media, as well as the target's former political allies, who would normally defend the target because of his political status... suddenly all demand resignations or whatnot and destroy the target.
It sounds like a movie plot, but we know this sort of thing happens.
Thoughts?

Kvetching about naming a crater? Go scream at the kids playing in the street lady, go touch grass, get a life.
In 1968 Apollo 8 proposed naming a mountain on the dark side of the Moon Mt. Marilyn, after Lovell's wife. It was not until 2017 the name was approved.

Fellow California Congessperson Pelosi, who had worked with him, suddenly didn't really know him that well at all and had never heard of any improprieties.

The IAU is the one that officially approves name. They will likely approve Crater Carroll from what I'm reading, and pretty quickly, by the end of May, but somebody could throw a monkey wrench in it.
The reason "Mt. Marilyn" took so long was it violated some naming conventions (but they can overrule those if they want to), a big one being no names after living persons.
When the finally approved it, Marilyn Lovell was still alive, but they approved it under some "historical importance" rationale.

It's a manual agriculture thing; for crops that are simply scythed, harvesting is a leveling process, so it's a classic commie metaphor. Even in business, we have an equivalent for large organizations, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." In Red China, there is a "laying down" movement sort of equivalent to MGTOW, but more about there being no point in striving since the tall leeks get cut down. (I didn't know they were so big on leeks, but that's the metaphor they use.)

"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

IAU is what officially decides naming of astronomical bodies and features on them. It's a big international bureaucratic thing, and you've got all the international politics and shit involved.
I see they've put some DEI shit in the rules too, now.
The discoverers and astronauts do get priority to propose names, but it's some IAU committee that gives final approval.
The propose Crater Carroll has been known for a while (far side surveys by the lunar orbiters), it just wasn't named.

I am not a lawyer and I can confidently tell you that the argument the Democrats will make is that it isn't an inter-state compact. They just called it that. What it is is each state, independently, announcing that they'll award the EC votes to whomever wins the popular vote.
And SCOTUS will say.... "Oh, that's totally different. Proceed."

Always has more or less. Basically if you predict one black swan event like VPA, then you cannot rule out other black swans such as Congress setting aside idiot legislation or making a Lord Protector like the English Civil War did.
All the Democrats do are ops and try to cheat by any means possible whether in the Constitution or not. Jan 6th should have taught folks that.
So ultimately it comes down to willpower for the rest of us and normies to shut down Democrat cheaters. True in 2000 in Florida, True in 2016, 2020, and 2024. And will be true in 2028 and 2032 etc. until the Democrats are dumped into the dustbin of history (or prison).

The problem not resolved at that council was the nature of the Holy Ghost: whether he was eternally coexistant with the Father and the Son or if he emanated from the Father (I think I have that right). That led to the Great Schism of 1054 that had the Western and Eastern Churches pronouncing anathema on each other. The difference amounts to one vowel in the Greek version of the creed.

I have been pondering. The ABC's of deal-breakers* are Addicts, Beaters, and Cheaters. I would personally add Drama Tornados and Emotional Abusers, since you don't have to live like that; you can have peace and dignity just by being alone. But, Cheaters stand alone as the one of the three (or five) that you can't easily tell just by taking your time and actually getting to know someone first.
I think that's why there are so many stories about cheating: as an anxiety, it's not entirely irrational, since there are people IRL who turn around after many years of marriage and suddenly betray their spouses. You can't just do your research, talking to people that know them, and talking yourself out of irrational worry; you just have to either decide to be Forever Alone, or brace against the unknown and unknowable and take the plunge.

yes, I get it. But Jesus being "wholly God and wholly Man" is nonsense. Why would God not put the word "Trinity" in the Bible if it was the essence of Christianity? The ideas of JC fully obeying his Father and actually Being God are somewhat nuanced, I suppose.
JC is the Christian's brother, who was fully dead for three days and three nights. He trusted his Father (the one true God) to raise him from the dead after he sacrificed himself (the pure lamb of God) for our sins.
That is the simple story. As to whether JC saying he "was" Yaweh or was his son (second Adam) ... it is a bit complicated I guess. There are verses where (obedient son) Jesus seem to say he was (acting in perfect harmony with his Father's demands) God ... yes, he and his Father were "one". All acknowledge that "trinity" has three parts, but there is only One God.

DC Court of Appeals Bodies, Beats Down Obama Judge Boasberg for His Extrajudicial Unending "Investigation" Into Trump for Ignoring His Poorly-Worded and Also Illegal Order
SCOTUS WireIf you recall, Boasberg issued a (lawless) TRO blocking Trump from deporting criminal illegal Venezuelans to the CECOT prison in El Salvador. But Boasberg mis-drafted his order because the planes were already on their way. The TRO was then moot.
@scotus_wire 2h 🚨 In a 2-1 vote, a D.C. Circuit panel has issued an extraordinary writ of mandamus, ordering Judge Boasberg to terminate his criminal contempt probe into the Trump administration's transfer of alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador.
This made Boasberg angry so, on his own initiative and by his own "authority," Boasberg has been conducting a Star Chamber criminal investigation into Trump and his staffers.
Even worse, the Supreme Court later ruled that Boasberg had no authority to issue this order in any case. But the power-mad authoritarian continued his "investigations" into whether his order -- now ruled conclusively to have been lawless and void from the onset -- was "violated" by Trump anyway. The order has been ruled illegal - but Boasberg insists on seeking criminal charges against people for violating his officially-illegal order anyway. He's taking the position: "I don't care if the order was illegal, Trump should have obeyed it anyway, and he should be punished for not Respeccing My Authoritah!" By a vote of 2-1, an Appeals Court just ordered him to terminate these lawless proceedings.
More from the decision, via Powerline:
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered an end to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's criminal contempt inquiry into Trump administration officials over last year's deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvador, delivering a second major rebuke to Boasberg and foreclosing further pursuit of the case. In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted a writ of mandamus and directed that the contempt proceedings be "terminated," finding Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had committed a "clear abuse of discretion" by continuing to press forward A writ of mandamus is a rare and extraordinary order from a higher court directing a lower court or government official to stop exceeding their authority. The panel that wrote the 122-page decision included Judges Neomi Rao and Justin Walker, both appointed by President Donald Trump, in the majority, and Judge J. Michelle Childs, appointed by former President Joe Biden, in dissent. The Washington Examiner contacted the Justice Department for comment. "The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy," the majority wrote. "These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion, as the district court's order said nothing about transferring custody of the plaintiffs and therefore lacks the clarity to support criminal contempt based on the transfer of custody." The order comes nearly one year after Boasberg found probable cause to hold the government in criminal contempt, accusing officials of failing to comply with his March directive to halt deportation flights carrying Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador, where many were sent to a maximum-security prison. The deported Venezuelans were illegal immigrants who were suspected of being members of Tren de Aragua, a violent transnational gang. Boasberg had sought to determine whether officials, including then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, willfully violated that order and had moved toward referring the matter for criminal prosecution while continuing to gather evidence through hearings and testimony.
The Supreme Court ultimately overturned the underlying order from Boasberg that had blocked Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrants suspected of gang membership. Boasberg, however, continued investigating whether the Trump administration had violated the order.
More than a year ago, the President invoked the Alien Enemies Act against members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal gang and foreign terrorist organization, and ordered that they be detained and removed from the United States. In a series of fast-moving events on March 15, 2025, the government placed a group of alleged gang members, including plaintiffs in this case, on planes to El Salvador. After the planes took off and left the country, the district court ordered the government not to remove the plaintiffs from the United States. The Supreme Court vacated the district court's order because it was premised on a legal error and the plaintiffs' suit was brought in the wrong court.I think that last part might be about these criminal illegals filing in friendly liberal district courts while ignoring the Immigration Courts that actually have jurisdiction over their cases. They did this again and again and the Supreme Court kept telling them that they had no original (first-dibs) jurisdiction in these cases, but could only enter the cases after an appeal.
Eric Schmidt comments:
Nonetheless, the district court threatened to hold government officials in criminal contempt unless they complied with the now-vacated order by, for instance, taking back custody of the plaintiffs. We issued a writ of mandamus vacating the court's first contempt order. Undeterred, the district court is proceeding with criminal contempt for the government's decision to transfer the plaintiffs to the custody of El Salvador. To cooperate, the government identified then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as the official responsible for the transfer decision. The district court previously said this was the only information it required to make a referral for prosecution. But the district court has now expanded its inquest and ordered hearings to extract more information from government counsel about exactly what happened last March. The government petitions for mandamus. The widening gyre of the district court's investigation again calls for the extraordinary remedy of mandamus to halt the judicial "impairment of another branch in the performance of its constitutional duties." Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C.,542 U.S. 367, 390 (2004) (cleaned up). The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy. These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion, as the district court's order said nothing about transferring custody of the plaintiffs and therefore lacks the clarity to support criminal contempt based on the transfer of custody. Moreover, the government has already provided the name of the responsible official, so further judicial investigation is unnecessary and therefore improper. In these circumstances, mandamus is appropriate to prevent the district court from assuming an antagonistic jurisdiction that encroaches on the autonomy of the Executive Branch.
So, he mis-drafted his order but now wants to put people in jail for not having obeyed the order I meant to give, but did not in fact give because I am a sloppy partisan incompetent.
Senator Eric Schmitt
@SenEricSchmitt 4h "The pursuit of this improper investigation is a clear abuse of discretion." Judge Boasberg just got slapped down...again. The walls are closing in on his crusade to jail Trump officials for DEPORTING Venezualan terrorists. It's clear: time to impeach Rogue Judge Boasberg. 🧵 To review: last March, Judge Boasberg forced himself onto the "turn the planes around" case--just a few days after trying to foment a constitutional crisis at a Judicial Conference meeting. He has spent the past year trying to jail prosecutors and cabinet Secretaries. Today, the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion, once again, in the appeal on Boasberg's attempt (extrajurisdictionally) to hold officials in contempt. The Court found Boasberg's "inquest" was both wrong on the law and a violation of our Separation of Powers. Let's break it down.
The core holding is simple. Criminal contempt requires a court order that is "clear and specific." The D.C. Circuit held this TRO was not. Why? Because the written order barred "removing" class members, but said nothing about transferring custody once the planes were already outside the United States. The district court tried to transform an order about "removal" into an order about continued U.S. custody in El Salvador. The D.C. Circuit said no: criminal liability cannot rest on what a judge later says he meant. It has to rest on what the order actually said at the time.
Judge Boasberg was mad he didn't get his way by halting the deportation of TDA terrorists. He got shut down: "In our constitutional system of government, criminal liability cannot turn on the unstated intentions (or post hoc assertions) of a district court judge." The district court told the government it would issue a written order "so you don't have to race to write it down." The written order then superseded the oral remarks--and that written order did not bar what the district court later claimed it barred. This is bigger than one case. If this contempt theory had survived, any politically charged district judge could issue a rushed, muddy order, then later reinterpret it to threaten executive officials with prosecution. The D.C. Circuit put a needed stop to that. Today's ruling is a win for due process, for separation of powers, and for the proposition that judges must follow the law too. No vague order.
No post-hoc rewrite.
No judicial fishing expedition.
No contempt. Time to move forward with impeachment.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Judge James Boasberg just got SLAPPED DOWN by the US Appeals Court

With that said, you have to admit Trump has made some pretty stellar progress in stopping illegal immigration and deporting those he can. All it took was the will to try.

This narrative was written before the war. All narratives come to being in the primitive primordial soup of the distant past and evolve to whatever the left needs to be true. Which is why they seem so eager to insist upon themselves and generally have a whiff of bullshittery. They backfilled with the groypers, then the tucker candice axis, and can now cite those groups as a source for the narrative.

The clock officially ran out on the proposal late Monday night as the state legislative session ended, a casualty of internal party disagreements. In the end, the Maryland Senate left the bill in a committee, with Democrats who control the chamber concerned it could backfire under judicial review.

It's about their future authority. They're auditioning for court-packing.
They're demonstrating their fitness for purpose for when the next Democrat President will expand the SCOTUS and stack it with hacks that will rubber-stamp xir every illegal and unConstitutional order. Boasberg isn't doing the district court thing wrong; he's auditioning for Chief Justice right.

“The TRO did not clearly and specifically bar the government from transferring plaintiffs into Salvadoran custody,” Rao wrote. “The TRO therefore cannot support criminal contempt.”
Obvious distortion of judicial opinion here. Two Trump appointees deliberately remove judicial ban on Trump weaponizing legislative act misapplied to the ICE genocide. A blatant miscarriage of justice.
It ain’t Judge Boasberg overreaching. It’s Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and anyone else involved.
All it takes is one appeals court judge to request a vote on whether to rehear the case en banc in order to force a vote. If 6 of the 11 active justices on the court vote to rehear the case it will be reheard by all 11. Trump appointed just 3 of the 11. George HW Bush appointed 1 other one. The odds are pretty good for an 8-3 vote to rehear the case en banc.

Last year it was announced that a new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie would air on Nickelodeon this year.
What should have been greeted by much celebration immediately veered into the ditch of DEI as a big 'fan' was put in charge. She promptly fired the original voice cast of the series and hired new people to better reflect the race of each character ... in this fictional world.
Well, that October release just got torpedoed as the whole film has been pirated via hacking and put online.

She answered, "Uh, I've never been a judge, in fact that's the whole purpose of this hearing is to confirm me as one, so I've never, you know, hired or even HAD clerks."

The one thing that unites appellate-level judges is the herd instinct defense against repeated challenges to their authority by rogue district judges. Boasberg is the worst of that kind.

It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope.
Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd:
"We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice."
The account was deleted the day he was elected.

The whole judiciary is lawless and doesn’t even follow its own made-up “rules” - this is hardly or perhaps even most egregious case in the last year+.
The Legal Cult cannot imagine (naturally) the only serious solution to this - repudiation. The damage to society and constitutional order extends far back before Boasberg, and encompasses subjects far beyond immigration.
But the will and wisdom to act are lacking.

I've seen some home inspectors on YouTube showing off the results of that: walls that aren't square. Bubble levels have been a thing for hundreds of years. Laser ones have been a thing for 15 or 20 now. But they're selling people houses where the drywall is so bowed that you can't hang pictures or a TV.
There's one guy who went through a brand new subdivision and found a gas leak in every house. I'd have left the gas on and waited for the earth-shattering kaboom, but he didn't do that.

Or the "othering" (cancelling) of Arius.
"The Nicene Creed was adopted to resolve the Arian controversy, whose leader, Arius, a clergyman of Alexandria, "objected to Alexander's (the bishop of the time) apparent carelessness in blurring the distinction of nature between the Father and the Son by his emphasis on eternal generation".
I'd never heard of Nestorius, but the Nicene creed (imo) is where "they" voted/decided that the (only begotten) son of God Really Meant "God the Son" the third person of some "Holy Trinity".

DEI Actress: DEI Has Become a Bad Word in Hollywood and We Have to Use Different Words Now to Push Our DEI Grift
Issa Rae says DEI has become a 'bad word' in Hollywood as executives of color 'tiptoe' to keep jobsIn other words, moneylosing grifter projects had previously been greenlighted due to the DEI lobby's power and now that lobby has lost power and DEI projects aren't getting greenlighted and DEI hustlers aren't getting paid.
'Insecure' actress spoke at TheWrap's Creators x Hollywood Summit about the rollback of DEI initiatives Actress Issa Rae said Thursday that she believes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has become a toxic topic for the entertainment industry. "I'm seeing it," the "Insecure" actress said while participating in TheWrap's Creators x Hollywood Summit. "Just blatantly. People are scared and just not necessarily investing the same way that they would have before. Even executives who, you know, are of color are also like tiptoeing like, 'Well, I can't co-sign you because I'm going to lose my job.' And that's scary to see and sad to see because it's kind of like a bad word now."
Yes: Let's talk about "the medicine." A lot of people don't object to black actors, writers, or directors. I have nothing against a black actor in a kind of show or movie I'd like. If it's a detective show with a black lead, I would watch that. The problem is "the medicine." DEI grifters don't merely push beancounting hiring for positions. They also push The Message. They want to make movies and shows that are lectures. There's a reason I avoid black-- and "female led" -- tv shows and movies: Didacticism. There is a powerful strain of woke lecturing among female and black creators. Again, if you're pitching me a black detective show, I might be interested. But if you're pitching me a black detective show in which every two or three episodes are about The Talk and White Supremacy and George Floyd and white superiors denying promotions to qualified black cops and giving those promotions to Mediocre White Men -- that's gonna be a "no" from me, dog. And that's what a lot of this crap is. These creators are frustrated because they want to make very didactic, lecturing fare and be rewarded and beloved for it. But that's not what the public wants, and it's never been what the public wants. As Samuel Goldwyn said 80 years ago (I think): "If you want to send a message, use Western Union." Partly they do this because projects that would never, ever have gotten greenlit in the past were suddenly mandatory due to the DEI takeover of all corporations. Partly it might be a kind of employment-guarantee: If a project is specifically about "The Black Experience in America," well, you know that all of the lead roles and key positions will have to go to black people. But no one wants this. They never did. During the height of DEI, Hollywood lost hundreds of millions of dollars every year making one sure-moneyloser woke lecture after another. Losing hundreds of millions of dollars every year is not a sustainable business model.
"We all know that, typically, when we're talking about diversity, equity [and] inclusion, it is about giving people opportunities that would otherwise not have them as opposed to pity hires and pity shows and the like," she continued. "It's changed meanings and has become a bad word, but it hasn't affected what we do and who I create for and what our company creates for and who we prioritize. And it never will." Rae was asked about Hollywood and other major industries rolling back DEI initiatives since President Donald Trump took office again in 2025. As a series creator herself, Rae admitted that people have to be "smarter" about how they package diverse projects. "Like, 'It's not a show about a Black woman, it's a show about class,'" Rae said. "As icky as that might feel, it gets the show sold. You know, a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down."
There is an entire grifter industry in Hollywood of people taking a mafia-like cut of projects. Crap DEI director Ava DuVernay has a whole business based upon the concept of DEI entrepreneurialism, monetizing white guilt and the George Floyd propaganda effort. It's called "ARRAY." You know, an array of skin colors and diverse lived experiences.
array now https://arraynow.com Founded in 2011 by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, ARRAY is a Peabody award-winning arts and social impact collective dedicated to narrative change.
She's been complaining since 2024 that the DEI grift isn't paying off like it had in the prior years. But how long did you think you could milk the George Floyd grift?
Well isn't that what you should have done in the first place, instead of playing the Black Female Card to get people to "invest" in projects that had no chance of breaking even?
Ava DuVernay On Hollywood's Diversity Failures: She's "Tapping Out" & Will Go "Make My Movies" Ava DuVernay is frustrated, and perhaps the odd way her acclaimed drama, "Origin" has largely been ignored by the awards circuit hasn't helped ("I wish she was at the Globes or SAG Awards or Critics Choice or the other nominations that didn't come," the filmmaker recently lamented about her "Origin" star Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor). It's no secret that the ideas of diversity, equity, and inclusion are under attack in the United States at the moment (just look at what happened to former Harvard President Claudine Gay and the coordinated attack on her from the far right that led her to step down from her post). There's been a concerted effort and campaign among the conservative forces in this country to disassemble DEI initiatives and it's clear as day (you can cite dozens of articles on this topic, but feel free to read "Republicans are at war with corporate America over diversity" at The Hill or "Conservatives See Claudine Gay's Resignation As A Victory" in the New York Times or just yesterday, "DEI Goes Quiet" from the Times). And all you need to do is look around at the way the diversity movement is receding in Hollywood, much like the way #MeToo did after it had its moment. Many conservatives see all these movements as "overcorrections" to roll back. DuVernay was on the Talk Easy podcast recently and vented her frustrations about it all when asked about the attack on DEI in this country and the growing voices in the conservative right that are trying to systematically dismantle these practices ("After #MeToo Reckoning, a Fear Hollywood Is Regressing," is also another key NYTimes article to read). In her long response, DuVernay said she would be "tapping out" of the "Hollywood industrial complex" and would "pass the baton" to others over the industry's ongoing failures in diversity and inclusion. "This town does not want it," she said. ... "I'm going to build another house; I'm going to go over to the house that I've built on my own and focus on that," she explained. "That's where I am today, like I did it all, and I'm good. I'm just gonna over here and make my movies."
What did her efforts achieve? According to DuVernay, she couldn't move the DEI needle in the way she wanted, and that's the source of her frustrations with the Hollywood industry at large, "I think I've done things to help but that those are isolated incidents that are [anomalies]. [The system can be fixed], sure it can, but it needs cooperation, it needs people to want to do it and this town does not want to do it."Well it does want "to do it," but Hollywood is now on the verge of collapse. At some point a business has to actually start producing widgets the public is actually interested in buying. Of course, DEI lecturing isn't limited to female and black creators. All of NBC's white liberal showrunners are determined to push the party line in every single show, for example.
The surprising racial and gender bias in 'Law and Order' John Sides - January 3, 2017Spoiler alert: You will not be surprised.
For many years, variants of the show "Law and Order" have been among the most popular television programs about crime. At times, they have been among the most popular programs, period. "Law and Order: SVU" still airs on NBC. Social science research tells us that the public often learns about crime -- and especially its racial implications -- from how it is portrayed on television. A new paper by Gaurav Sood and Daniel Trielli analyzes "Law and Order" and comes to a surprising conclusion: In its portrayal of both perpetrators and victims, "Law and Order" is biased in terms of both race and gender, but not in the way you'd expect. The show over-represents whites and females as both victims and perpetrators.That is exactly what I expected.
In total, Sood and Trielli analyzed 731 episodes from three different "Law and Order" series: the original, "SVU," and "Criminal Intent." They identified the gender and race of over 1,100 criminals and over 1,500 victims portrayed on these episodes. They compared the racial and gender breakdown among criminals and victims to government statistics for similar types of crime and periods of time. Here is what they found. Criminals Black criminals are less common on "Law and Order" than in reality. The graph below shows that in the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), about 30 percent of criminals are black (with higher percentages among those arrested for murder or rape). But in each of the "Law and Order" series, about 10 percent are black.Even when a criminal turns out to be black, he's not the real criminal, who will turn out to be a white guy and usually a white supremacist who goaded him into committing the crime.
... "Law and Order" also distorts the true proportion of blacks and women who are crime victims. It dramatically underrepresents blacks as victims, especially with regard to murder. About 50 percent of murder victims are black, according to the FBI, but on "Law and Order" just over 10 percent of victims are black. The show overrepresents females as victims. Just over 20 percent of murder victims are women, but on "Law and Order" it is upward of 40 percent and, on "Law and Order: SVU," 60 percent.The female thing isn't due to political bias-- it's due to these shows being beloved by female, and in particular urban liberal females (AWFULs). Women like stories about women. Related: They've torn down the sets for the cancelled woke identity "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" show -- Gay Klingons Eating Pudding -- as well as the sets for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and they're selling the props at auction.

I do as well, not because I think women cannot write -- clearly they can, and do well (we have several ette authors here who are quite good). Its just that the genres I like, often the women don't write it as well as men (Napoleonic era navy, noir detectives, etc). I wouldn't prefer male writers for a historical romance if i liked those either.
But there are always exceptions. I don't generally like female authors of fantasy but I do like our own Sabrina Chase's fantasy for example.

I'm actually surprised that no one's done an all-black version of A Christmas Carol yet, though not set in England. Scrooge is black, the spirits are black, the Crachits are black, etc.
Like The Wiz or Carmen Jones. And, if done well, it might actually be watchable.
The virtue of all-black adaptations of originally white stories is that it removes race as a plotline and makes the audience concentrate on the characters as individuals within their particular context of black culture, and not as cardboard cutouts of the victims of the oppressed class.

Today, I had basically a one on one with the global CIO of the company I work for. He came to the DC I manage and the company that runs it gave a presentation and tour of the facility, then I showed one of our cages. He had way too much time allotted, so I told him he couldn't come to Texas and not get some good BBQ, so we went to a local place.
I wore my boots (not cowboy boots, but work boots in the CB style) and loaded him into my F250. "EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas, goodness!"
Had a good lunch and great conversation. His driver that was picking him up to take him to his next appointment was early, so we headed back after lunch. I wasn't expecting it and usually the Danes don't do this, but he actually gave me a bro hug before leaving in lieu of a handshake. I was stunned.
Guess I did pretty good.

Actually, we should say Yogi Berra was the Sam Goldwyn of baseball or something. Look up some of Goldwyn's famous malapropisms. They are legend.
Half of them were probably made up, or just improved versions of what he actually did say, but they're all too good to check, like "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on" or "Spare no expense in saving money!"

======
Didacticism is when you have characters give speeches about the message. Drama and didacticism clash really badly because the needs of drama trend towards subtlety and the needs of didacticism trend towards obviousness.
It's the propaganda issue.
Can you put out a story that's supposed to convince a population of a particular idea and do it subtly? Of course, but it's easier to make sure the message gets across if you have someone stop all the action and explain it.
That's when it becomes didactic.

We've been neighbors with a black family for 26 years. We've become very close over the years. Their kids are our kids and our daughter is their daughter. The FiL is a country boy from way back, so there's always an N word coming out in conversation. He met them and liked them alright.
One day he asked the First Lady, "What if your daughter starts dating a black guy?"
"Well if he's anything like our neighbor's son, he will treat her with respect and be good to her, so we'd be ok with it."
He didn't know what to say.
Of course, she's not dating a black guy, is with the only boyfriend she's ever had and they'll likely get married after they graduate college. That is, if we can get her to actually MAKE it to graduation..........

I went about ten years (my twenties) with almost zero TV, very few movies. This was in my "Full Christian" decade. There are advantages to not being exposed to the Corruption that is The World, but the downside is not being able to relate to those that live fully under Hollywood's (and MSM's) influence.
"Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good" is the verse that I still sorta "cling to". If one can watch entertaining movies AND discern what wrong doctrine is being pushed, then maybe that is fine. But there are always multiple layers of "wrong doctrine" which if not fully rejected, influences one's mind. That is the power of pervasive propaganda. imo

Black people should be watching Ghosts and the new Matlock. I'd also recommend Elsbeth. The Diplomat is really good. There are several Black characters on the show that aren't all from the same family either.
I really wish we would fight harder and stop letting people define terms like DEI and Woke! The people using these terms as a negative really don’t even know what they mean.
DEI is only a "bad word" amongst fascists who are never going to tolerate any diversity in media. You can't placate them you crush them.
Not to mention, an all-white cast just feels creepy and surreal?? Some kinda Children of the Corn or Stepford vibes.
I find those places creepy and surreal as well. I’m not kidding. Small, all-white towns feel strange to me. Same for overwhelmingly white areas in cities. They also feel dangerous for people I love.
Funny how shows used to be full white all the time and nobody cared or said anything but soon as coloured people started appearing now it's dei this dei that not realising DEI hires primarily benefits white women most 🙄

Then you would get a kick out of "Without a Clue". Stars Michael Caine as Sherlock and Ben Kingsley as Watson along with some other actors you would recognize.
Michael Caine told a story in interviews about how this woman living in his apartment building came up to him and said, " I understand you are going to be Sherlock Holmes."
Caine responded "Yes, I am". The lady then told him, "I suppose you are going to be interviewed on TV for it as well." He again replied, "Yes". Then the woman told him, " I am going to be interviewed by them too." Michael was a bit non-plussed and as he even said, smug in his reply, " Well, what are they going to interview you about?". The lady replied, " I am Conan Doyle's daughter."
Michael never knew she lived in the apartment building. And he mentioned, "I hope she never saw the movie as she might have gotten upset."

And if the producers are willing to compromise on these points, they are willing to compromise a production in all sorts of other ways. At the very least it can mean not hiring the best actors for a role or, worse, stuffing politics into the script. Great producers hold hire standards across the board for their shows.
There are great shows with diverse casts. Those would be shows set where diversity would be expected. But there are an endless number of amazing shows in the history of movie and television with no diversity at all. Even recent hits (like "The Big Bang Theory" or "Stranger Things") have had little diversity, apart from maybe a token cast member. "Friends" was ruthlessly mocked for its lack of diversity, and it's one of the most financially successful series ever.

Bill Cosby SuperFan Eric Swalwell's Resignation Is Official, Effective Immediately
Would you like some Jello Puddin' with your rufies
Jennifer Van Laar reports that the earliest the election can be held is 126 days after the slippery-assed governor declares a vacancy.Just about two hours after the latest allegations against California Democrat Eric Swalwell became public, the former gubernatorial candidate is now a former member of the House of Representatives. ...Other Democratic sex-pests and Registered Sex Offenders are now "jockeying" to fill Eric Swalwell's seat, which coincidentally is also what his fellow prisoners will be doing when his juicy ass is thrown into the clink. Click on the link for that.
Now that Swalwell's seat is officially vacant, California Gov. Gavin Newsom can call a special election to fill it. According to the California Government Code, "A special election to fill a vacancy in the office of Representative in Congress, State Senator, or Member of the Assembly shall be conducted on a Tuesday at least 126 days, but not more than 140 days, following the issuance of an election proclamation by the Governor pursuant to Section 1773 of the Government Code." Assuming that Newsom issues that proclamation today, that election could take place on August 18, 2026. If one candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote in that election, they will win the seat outright and can be seated immediately. Before that, on June 2, the primary election for that seat for the next term of Congress will occur.
Tara Reade had vastly more evidence (by which I mean any at all) on Biden than Dems did on Kavanaugh.

A young woman who alleges disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) once tried to lure her to a hotel room after sending her pervy messages on Snapchat says she constantly thinks about how she dodged a bullet -- saying the close call left her shaken to the core. Breaking her silence for the first time, Annika Albrecht told CBS News on Tuesday that the married congressmen started interacting with her soon after she met him on a class trip in college. She claimed Swalwell, who initially started chatting to her under the guise of a professional mentorship, quickly asked for her Snapchat.It's clearer and clearer that he was serial rufie-er, like Cosby. So Me-Again: if a woman was drugged by Rapewell, should she be shamed for not having performed a chemical assay on the drink before drinking it?

Annika Albrecht (center) says she keeps "thinking about how lucky I am that I didn't go to that hotel" with disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell. CBS News Eventually, she alleged, the messages crossed the line to "sexually inappropriate" before he hit her with the hotel invite. "I keep thinking about how lucky I am that I didn't go to that hotel," Albrecht said, adding that she immediately stopped responding to him. "It was very clear what the connotation was."
Another victim has accused Swalwell of sexually assaulting her in a hotel room in New York City in 2024. The woman, who has not been publicly identified, claimed she was heavily intoxicated and woke up in her hotel room after a charity gala to find Swalwell assaulting her. "I was pushing him off of me, saying no," the woman, who no longer worked at Swalwell's office at the time of the alleged assault, told CNN. "He didn't stop." ... Albrecht said she had spoken to some of Swalwell's accusers in recent days. "It was terrifying to get on the phone with those women and hear their stories about how they were drinking with him and suddenly woke up in bed next to him with no recollection of how they got there," she said.
The Trump Curse has taken more victims than King Tut's Tomb.

On a side note. There is a growing occurrence on the Left that is entertaining as hell. As we note (with specific instances more and more common) that Leftist women are, mostly, out of their ever loving minds. It serves to reason that the Lefist politicians are walking through a mine field in their staffing, their social circles and contacts.
Neither has full credibility....(including these accusers on Swalwell). We're talking about an ideology that throws out that "believe all women" like it is factual. I got news for you...women are more dishonest than men in that regard.

Swalwell's puffy, degraded, prematurely-aged appearance is allegedly due to alcoholism. I guess liquor and other mood-altering substances help him get through his current hellish days, like it helped him not give a damn about his criminal behavior or possible consequences in the past. If he can just stay out of prison, he can spend the rest of his days in a drug and alcohol stupor, not giving a damn about his downfall, until his liver fails, or he hemorrhages in his esophagus, falls down the stairs, etc.

That is why they are so fixated on abortion and are so baffled when people object. Its why they keep doing it despite how much damage it can cause their career.
I keep seeing tweets of people asking "why did he think he could get away with it?" Because he did for 13+ years, you fool, why would he NOT think he could? As others noted, he ran for president and nothing came out about him.
The real question is, given how blatant he was, how could the Republicans in congress possibly have not known about it and why did they say nothing? I think we all know the answer to that.

Though... he could end up being sent to sit in a fallow field with no yacht parties ever again, like Jesse Jackson, Jr. It's probably the best we can hope for.

Putting aside her hellscape phantasm, California may be a draw for a different group: curious economists in the mood for disaster tourism.
Just as people travel to Hawaii to see volcanic explosions in real time, they can visit California to see economic implosions. California is a laboratory for students to see what happens when you ignore basic economic principles outside of the classroom.
California is now the leader in the economic race to the bottom, as its politicians drain away what remains of decades of accumulated social capital, revenue and residents from their state.

Dems seem to see 2024 as a fluke. They buried their autopsy for a reason.
Should Vance (or whomever else) win the popular vote in 2028, I suspect the whole effort to die out. Should see a couple of states repeal their commitment to the pact.
It's only really born from the fact that Dems won the popular vote in like 6 out of 7 elections but only won the presidency in 4 of them. That pattern breaks, the whole ethos behind the pact breaks as well.

Swallowell is quite competent at being a shit-flinging scumbag tool of the Party. Our vision of what a Congressman SHOULD be competent at is much different from his and his masters.
More broadly it's not competence in a particular role with measurable responsibilities as we think it should be that gets rewarded most, it's networking, social climbing, and "playing the game."

I find this is true about most romance movies and stories. The guy acts in ways that are incredibly creepy and stalkery (Rachel Zegler wasn't entirely wrong about Snow White) if it wasn't for him being rich and handsome and she wasn't attracted to him.
I mean, in "The Notebook" the guy is so demented pursuing her he threatens to kill himself if she won't go on a date with him while she's on a date with her finacee and this is supposed to be romantic.
Neary all of them involve monkeybranching too; she's with a guy, usually even married, but its so romantic of her to find her true love and she bails on him for the new guy. Its mostly about cheating.

I find this is true about most romance movies and stories. The guy acts in ways that are incredibly creepy and stalkery (Rachel Zegler wasn't entirely wrong about Snow White) if it wasn't for him being rich and handsome and she wasn't attracted to him.
I mean, in "The Notebook" the guy is so demented pursuing her he threatens to kill himself if she won't go on a date with him while she's on a date with her finacee and this is supposed to be romantic.
Neary all of them involve monkeybranching too; she's with a guy, usually even married, but its so romantic of her to find her true love and she bails on him for the new guy. Its mostly about cheating.

My casual read of Harlequin romance type stuff is she wants him, but she wants him to be very, uh, insistent that he is going to have her.
If you remove her wanting him it becomes a horror/revenge story instead. And if you removing him being an insistent pirate captain type he becomes the former boyfriend/husband in a romcom.

On the other hand, many women fantasize about a strong man sweeping her up in his arms, throwing her on the bed, and "ravishing" her. Of course consent is everything, but a cynic might note this common fantasy is kinda borderline.

Documents: Biden's Autopen Autocrats Knew About Elevated Stroke Risk from the Covid Jab But, Get This, Covered It Up and Falsified #TheScience
They told the public a lie while searching for any evidence that might support that lie. And they decided that, because they were still "examining the evidence" -- searching for some thin reed to hang their lie on -- the public was not entitled to any warnings during this period of investigation. But do note they told the public a lie even though the investigation was ongoing. It was not the case that they believed that they should issue no conclusions at all prior to the conclusion of the seven different analyses. They issued a statement they knew to be false during this period. From late March: Documents reveal Biden Autopen Autocrats "edited" -- falsified -- reports about the risk of stroke from the covid jab, downplaying the actual science so that the political commissars could continue telling their lies. The first email says that "they" don't want to see the report on covid jab stroke risk ever again. The second document shows them editing the actual science stating that there is a "moderately" elevated risk of stroke, downgrading it to a "slightly" elevated risk. They falsified the science to make it agree with their already-determined political conclusions.
New details emerging from a Senate investigation confirm that Biden administration officials at both the FDA and CDC knew about a significant stroke risk tied to Pfizer's bivalent COVID-19 booster in people over 65. They knew. And they said nothing. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, formally notified HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the findings in a letter backed by roughly 2,000 pages of federal documents.Between November 2022 and March 2023, seven separate analyses of incoming data flagged the same stroke signal for the same vulnerable population. Seven. Yet not a single formal warning went out. "HHS records show that as early as October 2022, federal health officials identified a potential connection between the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster and ischemic stroke for individuals over the age of 65," Johnson wrote. The CDC's own data shows 226 stroke cases reported between August 2022 and February 2023, with additional cases continuing to roll in through 2024. Instead of warning the public, the Biden administration buried the data and hired a private contractor. In February 2023, HHS brought in Lukos LLC to run an internal program called "The Stroke Project" -- a deeper dive into the data -- while continuing to tell the public that the vaccines were safe. As Johnson put it, "from the initial detection of the safety signal in late 2022, through contractor-led case review, VAERS data-mining analyses, and follow-up VSD studies referenced in MMWR publications through at least September 2024, health officials continued to say the vaccine was safe while simultaneously searching for evidence to support that assertion."
On August 31, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") authorized the PfizerBioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster. By late October 2022, HHS reported that approximately 14.4 million people 12 years and older had received the booster. In November 2022, federal health officials became aware of a statistically significant safety signal for ischemic stroke among individuals age 65 and older following administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster. An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain becomes blocked, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching parts of the brain. Despite the monthslong persistence of this safety signal in multiple vaccine safety surveillance systems, Biden's FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") did not issue any formal health alerts, nor did they advise the public to avoid the vaccine. Instead, federal health officials continued to tell the public the vaccine was safe, but behind closed doors, they initiated multiple studies and statistical analyses--including a so-called "Stroke Project"--to investigate the validity of their assertion. These investigations continued through at least September 2025.

The Epoch Times:
White House officials edited messaging on the finding that there was a higher-than-expected number of strokes following COVID-19 vaccination, according to newly released documents. In January 2023, during the Biden administration, the White House changed wording on post-vaccination ischemic stroke from "moderately elevated" to "slightly elevated," the records show. Officials also made other changes, including removing the words "potential risk."

@ZackStieber Mar 25 Johnson told The Epoch Times that "as safety signals for ischemic stroke appeared, Biden HHS officials continued to urge people to get vaccinated, jeopardizing the health of millions of Americans." He wrote to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asking for additional documents, and interviews with health officials such as Dr. Tom Shimabukuro.

When the jabs came out I considered getting it, had a bit of pressure from work about it.
My wife was pregnant with #3 so she was a hard no, and was supported by her doctor on that because of the pregnancy.
We'd read that there could be shedding from the vax so I decided not to. Thankfully work wasn't really pushing hard on me.
If I had a different employer at the time, I probably would have gotten it, then who knows what'd have happened.

The problem we have is this:

Stalin built a cult around him. Once Stalin was gone, Khrushchev banished him to the outer reaches, where he eventually died as a disgraced crank.
This will not happen in America, because our Party is too strong to ever admit fault. Fauci will die rich and celebrated, and they will put a big statue of him on the campus in Atlanta, and another in DC. Probably many more, to boot.

Eh, sort of. Yes, plenty of people went full on religious about it and declared anyone who didn't walk lock step with Fauci were heretics. But the compliance was very regional. I went to Utah from WA during Covid, and the contrast was stark. In WA, EVERYONE was masking up and getting carded to go into public places. In Utah, nobody had a mask on, you could walk into any restaurant or store freely, and nobody was talking about Covid.
Bill Gates came out and confessed people were more resistant to what they were doing than he expected.
There's also the fact that many people are going to remember all of this the next time they try to force us all to get shots and wear masks. Far more people will feel free to publicly resist.

So, either Biden was outright lying and not getting the boosters. Or, Biden was getting the boosters despite the risk. Or, Biden was incapable of understanding the risk and got his boosters. OR, his staff didn't give a flying eff about the President of the US, and kept him in the dark while encouraging him to get his boosters.
All are perfectly feasible.

Ventilator dependency is also a thing, especially for the older or otherwise more medically fragile patient. The longer you're on there the more your body unlearns how to breathe on its own. That's why people don't just get the tube pulled one day, they have to be weaned so they can relearn to breathe on their own. And sometimes they can't be.

Anyone that claims to be a scientist or medical professional and insists that skepticism is akin to conspiracy theory isn't a professional. And, the likelihood that they are engaged in deception is 99%. There is no science without skepticism.

Doctors in real life rely on what they are told or what is published, rather than on first-hand knowledge or the raw data. They can either downplay or amplify risk depending on their own preferred course of action and an unsuspecting patient cannot discern the bias.
On the other hand, patients are predisposed to hear what they want to hear, if it confirms their bias.

Demand destruction is a thing. It's probably part of what's going on.
The other part is that the strait is open to everyone but Iran who produces 2 million barrels a day, most of which went to China well below market rates, and American exports of oil are now booming as importers around the world have been looking for alternates that bypass the strait completely.
We're going to be back to oil in the $70 range by summer, and the only people who will remember this shock will be the American shale oil producers as they look out on their new Bugattis they bought when they were able to uncap their wells back in March.

It is precisely this, as well as what was done to handicapped adults in group homes.
My mom was in a nursing home up until she died. She had a little dog that she adored. When we were allowed to visit her - with her beside a window inside, us 6ft away -- we would "sneak" closer so she could pet her dog. We were threatened to have all visitation rights terminated if we did it again. The hate and anger I have for NYS, Cuomo, Fauci, Biden and the rest knows no bounds.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

Well Conor, representatives of the public health institutions provably repeatedly knowingly lied to the American people about a galaxy of topics related to Covid, called people who had valid questions and concerns about their prescriptions for public safety “irresponsible” and accused them of trying to murder grandma, then refused to acknowledge wrong doing in any way when it came out that they had been lying.

May, 2020. My mom passed away. I got a call from my brother that night. She was in a retirement community in NC. The drive down was surreal. Not more than a couple dozen other vehicles on the road. Pay at the pump was the only way to get gas. Nothing else open.
Never was able to have a memorial, a service or anything. Had to wear a mask the entire time we were outside her duplex... packing up stuff to take home.
The minister from her church came over one day we were there to console us. That was it.

Hmm, I haven't been to Whole Foods in awhile. There are less expensive options that are more conveniently located. Plus after Covid, they closed the huge hot prepared food section for take home dinners. I might have to go for a nice quality hunk of cheese and fake coughing fits amongst the masked.

I was shopping in the supermarket with a few of my brothers when some woman tells me I should only touch the bread I’m buying. Before I could even respond, my brother starts picking up loaves of bread like footballs and telling me to “go long”. Nah, that didn’t spiral good, let’s try the rye. Lololol.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

This isn't hard. As very serious questions started to rise, not only about the origins of WuFlu, but the efficacy and safety of the "vaccine," people were told to shut up, line up and not question anything. It would make anyone with a lick of sense start question what was really going on.

Iran has deployed its Ghadir-class midget submarines in the Persian Gulf and near the Strait of Hormuz. A large number of these submarines have been deployed and given clear instructions that if any enemy ship crosses into Iran’s waters, they should immediately destroy it. These submarines are specifically designed to operate in shallow waters, and the United States has no counter to them.

COVID was a bad flu season from an engineered virus. It wasn't a bio weapon - although those fucking with it were doing so to make one. And that was the Chinese and, well, US !!! We paid the Chinese to fuck with it.
But once it got out ? COVID was Donald Trump. Both dropped all the masks. COVID showed you what people really thought about freedom. About how to live.
It showed many here. And many were lacking. Many that are still here. In charge.

Unfortunately can't say the same for a good friend of ours who developed a turbo cancer and was dead in a couple of months. I have no doubt they're all related. Prison is too good for these demons.
I have a medical background and insisted to my wife and kids not to get the not-a-vaccine, as every warning in my head was going off. One of my boys didn't, another had to or lose his job, but my daughter got in line for it as well as a booster or two because she learned in college that Hillary is dreamy and that I'm a member of the evil patriarchy and she should never speak to me again or listen to another word I say, which she has done 100%.
So, my wife and I are worried about our kids, obviously. Fortunately they're in good health, for now.

When COVID-19 was still just in China and a couple other countries, I was talking to my coworker about the draconian crackdown in China, and shrugged it off. I said "this doesn't seem any different than their frequent outbreaks of new viruses in China, but they're having a lot of problems in HK and the West, so they're just using this as a pretext to hammer a bunch of nails at once."
In retrospect, it seems likely that they accidentally released this chimera after developing it with our money and expertise, and that both countries weren't sure of its lethality, and consequently reacted insanely.

Remember the Ebola uproar of 2014? It was a preview of the Covid fiasco 5 years later.
-Despite the CDC being officially tasked with maintaining supplies, hospital staff training, and quarantined treatment facilities for pandemics, virtually nothing had been done. The handful of actual US Ebola cases overwhelmed the untrained, undersupplied staff at hospitals.
-No restrictions on airline travel were put in place to restrict travel from the Ebola-affected regions in Africa.
-Airport 'screening' for Ebola consisted entirely of checking for elevated temperature, despite half of infectious Ebola cases not having this symptom.
-It developed that the CDC, visibly incompetent at any practical measures to contain the disease, saw their entire responsibility at preventing public "panic," by which they meant any serious perception of danger, which actually was warranted.
Anybody who saw this as it was in 2014, was primed to see the Covid fraud as it was five years later.

I thought Chinese-sourced footage of everything related to COVID was more or less staged, to spread F.U.D. around the world as to the actual threat (i.e. deadliness) of the virus. And it was very effective IMHO in causing Western nations to engage in draconian lockdowns and restrictions that were very destructive to their economies and the wellbeing of their citizens.

Its even worse than that. They claim that Allah substitute someone (most claim Judas) and made everyone believe that it was Jesus. Allah tricked the entire world and all of history into a lie, and is praised as the great deceiver in the Quran. Because tricking and lying to your enemies is a virtue in Arabic culture, not a vice.

Caught 'rona twice before the vaccines were out. After the third or fourth bout with 'rona, the symptoms were not as bad. Probably not due to the vac., since that didn't change my symptoms at all, but due to changes in me or the virus after enough of the rest of you beat it into submission.
At least I still have an iron gut, and can eat or drink anything.

Ana Paulina Luna: It's Going to Get Worse for Eric Rapewell, and He Might Wind Up in Prison
PLUS: Another Drugging and Rape Allegation
Note that while I waved a yellow flag on him cavorting with a woman on a hotel bed, I now believe this video is real. No one has actually debunked it, and Luna says it's real and I believe her because she is scalding hot and her lips glimmer like the stars on a spring night.
Luna appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters Monday night and warned that more damaging material about Swalwell would be coming within 24 hours, and she made clear that what she already knows is bad enough on its own. "I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hands, and I do think that he might end up in jail," Luna told Watters. "Not only did I receive forensic reporting showing that you know, that infamous video of him in the hotel room was indeed him -- it was not AI-generated -- but I'm also being told that... more stuff is going to be dropping in the next 24 hours, and that also potentially the individual that recorded that video in the hotel room was a female and she was underage," she claimed. Underage? Well, Swalwell's problem just got so much worse.That video at the link.
"I do think that he has serious criminal problems on his hands, and I do think that he might end up in jail." She concluded the segment by calling on the Manhattan DA to take a hard look at the criminal dimensions of the case.Another woman has come forward to allege Rapewell drugged and then raped her.
Wow - Swalwell accuser claims he drugged and violently r*ped her.

Attorney for Eric Swalwell’s accuser, Lisa Bloom: “Immediately, we will be filing a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office, which is the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over incidents that happen in West Hollywood.”

Jonathan Turley had some choice rhetoric. He noted that Rapewell was the Democrat Party's "monster" they heavily promoted because he was soulless and sleazy and was eager to spread the defamations and lies that other Democrats blanched at. He noted that when Susan Collins complained of having received death threats, Rapewell mocked her. He also pointed out that Rapewell has been in the front of ever mob the Democrat Party has mobilized -- "He's never late to a mob." People are asking more and more questions about Rapewell's "best friend" and vacation-partner Ruben Gallego -- who was possibly in that hotel room in the video. Gallego claims he had "no clue," about the "double life" Rapewell was living, none at all! But Gallego was more than Rapewell's best friend and vacation partner -- he was Rapewell's roommate.
Mike LawlerAnyone who's ever had a roommate knows there are no secrets there. And you also know that roommates choose each other for common interests and compatible proclivities.
@lawler4ny Serious question, @SenRubenGallego: During the time that you were roommates, are we to seriously believe that you didn't know or witness anything about the "double life" @RepSwalwell was living?
lol. Reminder about Swalwell’s best friend Ruben Gallego: he divorced his pregnant wife, sealed the court records, and then secretly married a woman 15 years younger than him that he met at the congressional baseball game. https://t.co/ROxP1ng7nd
— Brent Scher (@BrentScher) April 14, 2026
George SantosEd Morrissey points out that this would not be the first time Gallego has been accused of some very bad behavior:
@Georgesantos I will say this... There is an AZ senator that needs to be looked into ASAP! The rumors about him have alway been WILD... when I was in Congress it was the worst kept secret... he also happened to be my neighbor in the Longworth house office building, so my staff and I saw and heard plenty.
Remember this story from @joannamrod a year ago?

Rumors about Ruben Gallego's treatment of legislative staff have been circulating for a very long time. https://t.co/iby9Ftfyl9https://t.co/1ZqScH9cS4 pic.twitter.com/FboG8ce142
George SantosSantos has his own credibility problems, to be sure, but I'd look into his claims. And yeah I would be inclined to believe whatever sexual allegation someone makes against Nancy Mace.
@Georgesantos Apr 13 When I was in Congress I used to talk to Staff and reporters on the Hill a lot. During that time I learned about the activities taking place in the "cages" which are the storage rooms in the basement of the House office buildings. I reported it to House Admin Chair at the time Brian Steil and he did NOTHING. But over the course of my time on Capitol Hill I learned a lot of members had Rumors and or allegations against them... now I'm not the sex police and never dug into it but to name a few rumors I heard about when I was there of members engaging in lewd or alleged sexual misconduct like behavior with staff or reporters: Eric Swalwell D-CA
Tony Gonzalez R-TX
Max Miller R-OH
Dan Meuser R-PA
Matt Rosendale (former Rep) R-MT
Ruben Gallego D-AZ
Nancy Mace R-SC
Anthony DeEsposito (former Rep) R-NY
Mark Green (former Rep) R-TN
Lori Chavez (former Rep) R-OR
Ritchie Torres D-NY
Brian Steil R-WI
Cory Booker D-NJ
Bob Menendez (former senator) D-NJ
Worth noting that Ruben Gallego served his 9 month pregnant wife divorce papers days before she was to give birth. 1 year later he married a 25 year old lobbyist. https://t.co/64T9BTbmI5 pic.twitter.com/8OzuKm6Var

Narcissists have zero boundaries and as long as they have flying monkeys, they will do things that people with normal emotions look at in disgust. Swalwell may have run out of flying monkeys, finally, but I promise you the only thing he feels bad about is himself and the position this put him in. I also promise you he is blaming anyone and everyone but himself.

Swalwell was just one of the boys doing boylike things among boys, and we all know they will support each other in any and all allegations no matter what, because after all if one of them goes down they all go down. Seen it before in governments, police forces and among corrections officers.

I do NOT understand how a raped woman with video evidence did NOT make criminal charges at the time!
IMO, trying to rape an 'ette would having a high likelihood of causing the rapist to be quickly perforated with many 9mm holes.
If someone did manage to rape an 'ette by drugging her first, then I would expect she would rain hell down upon the rapist in a court of law.
Do these Democrat victims just not have the strength of character of our 'ettes?
I truly do not understand. I know it would suck to "go through it again" in a court of law. But I imagine if I was raped and had PTSD, putting the bastard in jail would be the best solution to remove the fear.
Any female enlightenment on this topic would be appreciated.

Not really surprising. It might actually make him think Kavanagh did indeed rape Beach Friends. People have a tendency to think that everyone is like them and live in the same headspace.
Also, knowing he was guilty of similar adds to the feeling of power and superiority in hanging someone for the same thing.
I wish it was 1993 and I did not look at people and seem the same 12 stupid shits with different names.

It's all coming out now, and the likely reason being a political play due to the governor's race with the self-petarding of the jungle primary system.
But those that sat on all of this, with lame excuses like "It was someone else's beat"? Who, if the allegations about Swalwell are true, allowed more women to be harassed, harmed, and even molested?
Name them. Shame them. Cancel them. Work to publically boycott the papers, websites, and stations that happily employed them, yet refused to run news that could help prevent more victims.

The Western front of the Capitol was undergoing repairs at the time as the original sandstone facing stones were crumbling. In the 'dungeon', there were storage rooms where all sorts of documents, and other miscellaneous rubbish went to die. They were hauling cartloads of this material so teh restoration crews could get to those areas. There were a few hideaways, particularly on the Senate side. I still have a few relics that I took from the garbage carts--Cannon's Procedures, A History of the US Constitution, an Annotated US Constitution from that restoration.
The storage cages were the largely vacant top floor of the Cannon House Office building in particular but I don't remember such in the Longworth nor would I have reason to go there. Pretty sure that Rayburn did not have those at that time. Both had storage rooms though.
The storage cages were for Congressional offices and were literal wire cages with a padlock that stored whatever the offices wanted. Very quiet, few if any people around on that floor even at the few woeful Congress critters that had offices up there--memory was those were at the front.

Because you will be the one on trial. If you are not a nun raised in a convent and let out for the first time the night this happened, you will be at fault. And in these cases, there were questionable decisions made - enough that any defense lawyer is going to take them and run and make you out to be the town whore. And it isn’t just defense attorneys doing their jobs. Your neighbors, people on line who don’t know you, your family, you will be on trial. There are a lot of similarities between those who have been sexually assaulted by someone they know and abused women in their reasons they don’t come forward. Add in this guy is in a high profile position, and he most assuredly told them just that, and promised you will be ruined and never work again.

But Swalwell is definitely slimy and dirty. And some of this is going to be true. I doubt he will actually be convicted of anything, though. A lot of his accusers will melt away, and a lot of charges will ultimately be dropped. If he is convicted, it will be for a minor crime (not a crime with a minor) and he will walk away.

She did say she told people at the time, and recorded it in her diary (she specifies "hand written," which makes her sound coached since there is world of difference between electronic and hand written diary for evidentiary value. )

In 2017, Shkreli was convicted in federal court on two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and up to $7.4 million in fines. In the civil antitrust case, Shkreli was fined a further $64.6 million to be repaid to victims. In May 2022, he was released early from the low-security federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. He is permanently banned from serving as an officer of any publicly traded company."

Some of them probably did and it got buried. But of the three, he was the easiest target. You had a woman and two white males, one of which suddenly showed up at the last minute to complicate matters. They will never go after the white woman, and Steyer is too rich to easily topple (plus he's probably not as much a scumbag as Swalwell).
Plus, there probably is a mob family struggle going on: Swalwell is in the Pelosi crime family, Steyer is probably an associate of one of the others, like Obama.

I think his rivals started the cascade--either Porter or Steyer because neither were getting traction.

The victims were white.

This is severely limited or eliminated under states' rape shield laws, which tightly restrict or prevent the admission of a woman's sexual history as evidence in court, so the Lifetime Channel court dramas using the "the victim's a slut" defense don't hold water anymore.

2. That woman in the video is not credible. She got drunk, screwed him, realized he is a sleaze, had regrets and trauma from being used, and now is zombied out telling her "story." I'm not saying he didn't sleep with her, but the claim of him drugging her is extraordinary and requires extraordinary evidence. More than "I only had one glass of wine."

It's what happens in a rape culture where men are given allowance to rape as much as possible without consequence.
How else do you explain that 25% of women in college have been raped and the jails aren't filled with preppy college dudes who did all the raping?

The surveys the used watered down "sexual assault" so much as to be meaningless. Getting an unwanted bump in a crowded room could've been sexual assault. It's absurd and offensive to people who actually have been raped. Makes it into a propaganda point, a bumper sticker, and a reason to look at claims of "sexual assault" with extreme skepticism. These "One in Four" and "Take Back the Night" people set back the very cause they claim to champion.

Not really. If you actually put true statistics on criminality out, then the victimhood entitlement scam goes away.
I spent a lot of time researching the Federal (and state) Sentencing Guidelines at the turn of the 21st Century and it turns out that white male criminals get the worse sentences disproportionate to their representation as criminals. Black male criminality is bimodal, less punished in urban areas and punished on the levels of whites in suburbs and rural. Females of both races get lighter sentences compared with males on equally severe crimes and Hispanics/Asians males and females got lighter than usual sentences versus the severity of the charge probably due to trying to avoid them being deported.

Ex cathedra is not the issue.
The issue is that out of everything the Pope could be talking about, including literal genocide of Christians in Nigeria, he's spearheading a conversation about how the war with the Islamic Republic in Iran is not a just war. Nevermind the IR's long history of waging war on the West, it's apocalyptic language and threats on Christianity, or anything.
He could be talking about abortion. He could be talking about assisted suicide in Canada. Again, he could be talking about the literal genocide of Catholics and other Christians in Nigeria, while he's in Africa by the way. He's not doing that.
Instead, he's talking about how Islam is some kind of equal co-religion to his own Church while whitewashing Islam's millennia of butchery.
And it's transparently an effort to turn the Catholic vote, which went 56-44 in 2024 for the GOP, against Trump and the Republican Party.
Oh, and it's obvious he's butthurt that Catholic Charities has been cut off from billions of USAID money to resettle refugees in America.

The problem for Leo is that conservative Catholics are growing, tolerated Francis, tolerated Trump shitting on Francis, and still are going to outproduce progressive Catholics.
Leo becoming more insistent on American domestic political matters while trying to stand up for Islam is going to win him no new friends and probably just hurt his effort to push the Catholic American laity back leftward.

Understood, but a lot happens before you get to court, and typically, the night in question is enough - do not pretend a defense lawyer isn’t going to go after behavior that night. Not only that, the trial is only one component of a lot - making the complaint, the investigation, all the other things I noted. I am not a lawyer, but when I went through my experience, I channeled my anger into helping others so I did a lot of volunteer work at a crisis shelter. The stories are terrible.
That said, I will not sit here and tell you no woman will lie about this stuff. There is certainly rewriting of history when you feel the sting of regret in the morning, and those women are disgusting, because they cast doubt on the women who actually are assaulted.

Uh, the American blockade is directed at vessels using Iranian ports. I do not believe a Chinese tanker taking on cargo at a friendly port is affected.

I know this. It wouldn't be affected.
And yet, the Elpis is the example the media are using.
Because the media is desperate to embarrass Trump even if they have to invent a goal for the blockade that the blockade doesn't have.

Sure, but you can make the exact same argument about any public figure. They SHOULD use their position for positive influence. I agree.
Catholics are a big group, and the Pope is the present leader (on Earth). But it's a placeholder position that is largely irrelevant. I contend Catholics mostly ignore the Pope.

We had to meet individually with our American History teacher fall semester. He was young, about 30yrs old. He talked to me for awhile then brought in another young history teacher the same age (I think both were married). My teacher told him I was 17yrs old and they both shook their heads, sort of sad or something...regretful, not saying anything else. Little did they know that I would have murdered or maimed before I spoke to my father or the dean of students if there was any monkey bidness.
Being an innocent I had no idea what that was about, but I guess many decades later I get it and just remembered wondering what that was about.
I made an A in the class and not because I hung out with the instructor or got "extra credit."

We mostly do. If we didn't, Francis would have done a lot more damage.
But that doesn't negate the fact that Leo is trying to use his influence in ways that are antithetical to the leader of the largest Christian denomination in the world for base reasons.
It should be highlighted, talked about, and denounced heavily and regularly to show that the Catholic leadership does not have its own flock's interests at heart.

Because Title IV says so. The college boy can have texts from the girl saying to come to her room for sex. She thinks this means love/marriage. He does not date her anymore. She claims rape.
This has happened in the past and I read the texts. Both had been drinking. The boy was expelled and expected to register as a sexual predator the rest of his life. I think he fought it but am unsure. The girl was never questioned about consent.
Due to mainly the fact they were drinking was his doom card. The texts proving him innocent did not matter.

Wisconsin Sheriff Sues Liar for Claiming She Was Detained by ICE for Two Days -- When She Was Actually at a Hotel Getting Spa Treatments
There must be consequences for disinformation and defamation. Isn't that what the self-appointed "Disinformation Experts" told us when they tried to ban Joe Rogan?
Woman claimed she was detained by ICE for two days -- but was actually at hotel getting spa treatments: lawsuit
An Illinois woman who claimed she was detained by ICE for nearly two days was actually relaxing at a hotel getting spa treatments, according to a $1 million defamation suit filed by a county sheriff. US citizen Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi, 28, gained national attention last month when she and a band of supporters -- including Cook County, Ill., Commissioner Kevin Morrison -- publicly insisted she was unlawfully detained by ICE officers for roughly 43 hours. Naqvi claimed that after landing back in the US from a work trip to Turkey on the morning of March 5, she was detained for nearly 30 hours at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, then transferred to another ICE facility in Broadview, Ill., before winding up at Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin. Morrison, who called the Chicago-area native his "best friend's sister," shared questionable screenshots of Naqvi's location at the Juneau, Wisc., jail on Facebook -- and decried the alleged incident during a tense media conference alongside Naqvi's sister March 8. "This is a 28-year-old girl just left on the street by ICE in another state, without her property," the commissioner said. He claimed Naqvi was released from custody in the early hours of March 7, then hitchhiked nine miles to a hotel, where she was met by family. The Department of Homeland Security called the claims "blatantly false" -- and even posted surveillance footage from the airport showing Naqvi entering a secondary inspection zone that morning and leaving around an hour later. "Ms. Naqvi departed CBP within 90 minutes of her arrival to the United States...[she] was not taken into custody or transferred to ICE for detention," DHS wrote in a March 10 X statement. The Dodge County Sheriff's Office also said it had no record of Naqvi ever "being booked, detained, or released" at the local jail.
But Morrison, who is running for a seat in Congress, doubled down -- even accusing the officials of "lying" and "trying to create a cover-up," according to the Wisconsin outlet WISN 12 News. Now Naqvi and Morrison are the subjects of a federal defamation lawsuit filed by Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt on Friday -- as his office released new details of Naqvi's actual actions during the alleged hoax period. "She checked into the Hampton Inn and Suites in Rosemont, Ill., for the entire duration of this alleged event," Schmidt said during a press conference, where he presented a hotel bill and text receipts to illustrate Naqvi's time there. The folio shows Naqvi checked in at the Hampton Inn -- just a 10-minute drive from the airport -- at 1:17 p.m. March 5, while text messages with an unidentified witness over the following days show she enjoyed free food, spa services and trips to the gym. "May I use ur card to order some food" and "going to check out the gym in like 5," read texts from Naqvi to the witness, according to authorities. "May i use your card to pay my spa lady?" another says in screenshots released by the sheriff's office. The witness told cops he also drove Naqvi to a nearby gas station in the early hours of March 7. Surveillance footage taken from that outing revealed Naqvi brazenly wearing the same clothes that she's later seen sporting in a "reunited" picture uploaded to Facebook just hours later, according to the sheriff's office. ... Though Wisconsin authorities were not able to bring criminal charges in this case, Schmidt is seeking justice through the lawsuit, officials said. Schmidt is requesting a jury trial and seeking damages no less than $1 million per defendant -- including 10 "John Does" -- who he said caused "reputational harm...particularly as he prepares for a re-election campaign in 2026."

The media promoted the hell out of this hoax, and now attempts to walk back the story by calling her a "Troubled Woman" who can't, you know, be held accountable for her actions. Seems like they should have told us she was a "Troubled Women" when she made her hoax clams.

It's my understanding that the value of the OPT is its ability to feed into H1-B.
The path is OPT - H1-B - Green Card.
With H1-B new issuances down 90%, the pipeline from OPT to any other visa is broken.
But, remember, people were saying Trump wasn't doing anything about it for a year. They were trying to drive wedges into the base specifically about this issue.
Why would they do that when there was a 90% drop in new H1-B's?

I can’t believe more people don’t know about this crazy rabbit hole. This girl ruined people’s lives when she was a senior at uiuc and got caught and was expelled. Now she’s back at it again.
• falsely accused of a professor of sexual harassment; he lost his job and is now suing the university
• multiple attempts to ruin ex boyfriend 1’s life. (1) held him at knifepoint with her roommate to get him to delete files proving her professor accusation was false (2) catfished the ex boyfriend 1 to meet in a spot and then filed a sexual assault against him (he didn’t even meet her); police ended up proving she’s lying and she got probation for two years. (3) filed that her car was stolen (heavily hinted ex boyfriend 1 did it) and had ex boyfriend 2 drive her around town looking for it. During that time her roommate broke into ex boyfriend 2’s apt and broke his laptop (trying to frame ex boyfriend 1)
• got expelled from the university right before graduation
Her trip to Turkey was for an undisclosed medical procedure funded by her boyfriend...

The sheriff said the ex-boyfriend told him he gave Naqvi about $25,000 over a matter of weeks, including for her flight to Turkey. He also said that the ex-boyfriend knew that she was not detained by the ICE but later joined the 'false narrative' of the family.
Naqvi does not have a clean record as she was convicted of lying about being the victim of a sexual assault. Naqvi has also been evicted twice in recent years, Cook County court records show. "In 2024, a River North apartment complex said she owed over $43,000 in rent and fees. Around the same time, JP Morgan said she owed nearly $15,000 in unpaid credit card debt."

Based on reports regarding the investigation into her claims, Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi has a history of alleged fabrications, including a fake pregnancy. Police reports and investigations into her background indicate a pattern of untruthful statements, suggesting claims about having children may not be factual.

Per Grok-
Public records from 2019-2020 show Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi (then a UIUC student) made sexual harassment allegations against Professor Joe Petry that the university investigated and deemed not credible, linking them to blackmail for a grade and money. She faced felony charges including intimidation, aggravated unlawful restraint, residential burglary, and criminal damage to property tied to incidents with two ex-boyfriends (threats to delete evidence, break-in, property destruction, false reports causing one ex's arrest). A stalking no-contact order was issued against her re: the professor. Most charges were acquitted or dismissed; roommate was convicted on related counts.

It is in the best interests of the Roman Catholic Church, the USA and the world that the Vatican publicly release details as to the subject matter of the recent meeting between Pope Leo XIV and Obama's political strategist, David Axelrod.
This incident is harming the Church in the USA far more than it is harming the USA itself.

I'm never comfortable with the "G-d will sort them out" line of reasoning. Establishment and conduct of Courts is repeatedly and exhaustively outlined in Torah. It constitutes a large portion of the document, across several books. My Torah portion (Shofetim) for my bar mitzvah was one such passage. Even the very vague Noahide Laws for gentiles demand establishment of at least some functional, impartial earthly court system.
I think if G-d meant for us to just shrug it off and let him handle everything, there would have been words in Hebrew and Aramaic for "Inshallah."

=======
1. Most of these lawyers are career lawyers and not political appointees. They have to go through hiring processes that last weeks and months.
2. The combination of a SCOTUS ruling from about 15 years ago deciding that real recesses were 10 days long (instead of 3) and the fact that recesses have to be affirmatively voted on by the quorum in the Senate means that Thune can't just order a recess.
2a. There are at least 10 GOPers who would never vote for a recess because appointment power is just about all the Senate does anymore.
3. Biden got no recess appointments either, mostly because of the SCOTUS ruling.

Maybe not that bad, but appeal courts go out of their way to find a way not to find an abuse of discretion.
So when they do, it's because there is no other possible way to justify the ruling--other than the judge deliberately ignored clear, unequivocable law on the issue.

The Appeals Court should have the authority to deny Boasberg from ruling over certain classes of cases. I think they do have that authority.
They really should deny him access to any case dealing with the administration which, on the DC Court of Appeals, means he pretty much gets sent to a rubber room.

Fading into Irrelevance or Scurrying for Cover? [Seamus Muldoon]
Chris Bray at The Federalist:
California Is Trying To Save The Pediatric Trans Industry Because It’s Dying In this April 7, 2026 piece, Bray posits that the retrenching, pausing or shuttering of children's hospital gender clinics in response to federal and legal pressure signals the demise of the transgender fad. Let's take a look at that premise. Becker's Hospital Review gives a brief summary of the current status here: Hospitals and gender care for minors: Where things stand In December RFK Jt. submitted this comprehensive review of the state of gender programs for children: Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Hospital Condition of Participation: Prohibiting Sex-Rejecting Procedures for ChildrenThis is a Proposed Rule by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on 12/19/2025 which threatens to withhold payments from facilities that continue to offer hormone treatments for gender dysphoria in patients under age 18. Secretary Kennedy is now using the phrase "sex-rejecting procedures" in place of the euphemistic "gender-affirming care". In addition to questioning the pro-trans viewpoint of the American Academy of Pediatrics and WPATH and the Endocrine Society published treatment guidelines, Kennedy cites trends in England and Europe spearheaded by the Cass Review that are questioning the supposed benefits of hormones and transsexual surgeries. This rule is now being litigated. In addition to the proposed HHS rule, CHCO has been referred for investigation by the HHS Inspector General. The Colorado Sun (1/2/26):
Children’s Hospital Colorado has suspended gender-affirming care for transgender youth amid a new federal investigation Along with other children's hospitals and 18 state AGs, Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) is mounting legal challenges to the proposed rule by HHS that threatens suspension of ALL Medicaid and Medicare payments to CHCO across the board for ALL patients. Since more than half of CHCO's overall patient population is funded by Medicaid, this would be a massive hit to CHCO's funding and CHCO has temporarily backed off...for now. Although CHCO has suspended writing prescriptions for puberty blockers and cross-gender hormones, they signal via their TRUE Center for Gender Diversity that they are fighting the HHS proposed rule and offer encouragement that these services may be available at some point in the future. From the TRUE Center's home page:
At this time, the TRUE Center is not able to offer prescriptions for medical gender-affirming care for patients under the age of 18 years. Patients and families can meet with medical experts to obtain comprehensive medical education about treatment options that patients may seek in the future.So, it appears that the TRUE Center is being cagey about their intentions and that their suspension of hormone prescriptions is merely a dodge to protect the CHCO mothership from stiff financial penalties They are rabid zealots and Gender-Affirming Care is still their top priority and ultimate goal. They clearly hope the legal challenges will fall in their favor, allowing them to resume what I prefer to call Delusion-Affirming Abuse. They are not suspending the prescriptions because of principle or a willingness to reconsider the deeper implications of these life-altering drugs. No, they are pausing while behind the scenes they are strategically regrouping and doubling down on their core beliefs. I suspect that Bray's assessment of the pending demise of childhood transgender programs is premature. The reaction of the transgender zealots is more akin to cockroaches scurrying for cover when the kitchen light is turned on. For each one you see, there are a hundred laying in wait. One additional point. Let us not forget that with the passage of Obamacare, the Secretary of HHS was granted broad purview over all aspects of the federal healthcare system, including Medicare and Medicaid Rules. "The Secretary shall...this" and "The Secretary shall...that" are peppered throughout the Affordable Care Act, leaving HHS in charge of the nuts and bolts of implementing O-care. That stands in stark contrast to the current Democrat-led litigation seeking to micromanage the current Secretary's application of the same authority simply because it threatens the zealots' pet programs.

The real story is that dysphoria has multiple causes. The 5 year old is statistically likely to turn out gay, and will lose their dysphoria if accepted as such. The 37 year old most likely has autogynephila and their dysphoria developed from their fetish. A 13 year old girl suddenly having it is likely reacting to the discomfort of puberty and/or autism combined with social influence. Only a small portion have dysphoria because of some biological reason.
"dysphoria developed from their fetish." see also Wachoski Bros
So what do we do about the ones who actually *do* have persistent gender dysphoria? Are they chopped liver?
This issue was used by many of its supporters as a form of lib coal-rolling. Changing the brain chemistry of children to own the chuds is truly evil idpol.
Almost all gender affirming care in the US for minors is reversible. For those who did receive surgery, its almost exclusively concerns the chest.

Nobody can be so insanely stupid to believe this. Not even these Reddit mutants.
It's not even theoretical. There are dozens of actual young men and women who underwent various stages of transitioning, later realized it was a yuge mistake, and then de-transitioned.
You can take one look at them and see it ain't even remotely reversible. Even non-invasive surgery. If you take the hormones and then decide to go back, you end up clearly and visibly stuck in an area "between" genders. You look like a mutant.

I had to cut that insane response short, actually, to get a better sampling of responses, but here it is in full:
Almost all gender affirming care in the US for minors is reversible. For those who did receive surgery, its almost exclusively concerns the chest. And even then, almost all cases of minors receiving surgery it concerns 15-18 year olds.
And even then, for the extremely miniscule amount of minors who do receive surgery, they arent just pushed to be trans. Irrespective of your thoughts on the matter, its a lie that they're just put on the chopping board without consultation.
Not to dismiss the fact minors, undoubtedly, have had surgery and would latter come to regret it. But like, the actual number of cases that this is the case is miniscule.

Understanding and embracing one's gender identity is an important journey for children, adolescents and their families. At the TRUE Center for Gender Diversity, we’re here to support you and your family along the journey. This is a safe space.
TRUE stands for Trust, Respect, Understand, Emerge.
Two things to note about this intro to the TRUE Center webpage.
1.) The irony of using the word TRUE for a program that is entirely based on a provably false premise, that is the idea that a boy can be turned into a girl and vice versa.
2. The 'E' stands for 'emerge'. This once again signals the end goal, that every child who enters the TRUE Center will emerge, like a butterfly from a cocoon as something other than their biological sex. ALL patients are encouraged or groomed to follow through.

I almost believed it, but I checked.
vultures can easily digest cooked meat. Their digestive system is extraordinarily robust and far exceeds what's needed for ordinary meat, whether raw, rotting, or cooked.
Why Their Digestion Handles It So Well
Vultures have some of the strongest stomach acids in the animal kingdom, with a gastric pH often around 1 or even slightly above 0—comparable to or stronger than battery acid and roughly 10–100 times more acidic than a human stomach .
This extreme acidity:
Rapidly breaks down proteins, tissues, and even bones (bearded vultures can dissolve large bones in about 24 hours).
Kills off a wide range of harmful bacteria, toxins, and pathogens that would sicken or kill most other animals, including anthrax, botulism, rabies, salmonella, cholera, and more.
Thoroughly digests the meat, sometimes even destroying the prey's DNA in the process.
Their gut also hosts specialized bacteria that help further break down flesh while the vultures tolerate (or even benefit from) them. Cooked meat is generally less challenging for them than what they normally eat:

I assume men getting boob jobs is not tracked as "gender" surgery as the boob job is so common it barely registers as anything special.

A war started by the barbaric followers of a bloodthirsty lustful 7th century warlord and their temporary commie allies 47 years ago. The US started Epic Fury with the goal of finally ending this unjust war. So I'm praying for its success in achieving this goal. Maybe the Pope is praying instead that the US taxpayer send pallets of cash to delay the end of the war, cash that the mullahs will use to terrorize their neighbors and restart their nuclear weapons program.

This Pope is a fraud. A true Pope would be calling for a Crusade against islam. I would settle for a simple Papal declaration, that wherever in the world islam raises its hand against those of other faiths, that Christians slap them down hard, and kill as many muslims as it takes to stop their assaults.

I know a good number of CHCO doctors in areas other than the gender clinic. You might be surprised at the willingness to accept the TRUE Center as part of the greater Children's Hospital team. Some are frankly libs and cheer for the gender clinic. Some think it's not their place to comment. Some go along to get along. Some just try to ignore it. But few, if any, speak against it.
I left CHCO in 2019, taking early retirement. By then the culture was full-on corporate, don't-rock-the-boat. It's only gotten worse since then.

The whole effort is a crazy play on the part of the left-leaning Church hierarchy to undo the rightward shift in the Catholic laity over the past few years.
Catholic vote was generally 50/50 for decades. Then, in 2024, it's 56-44 Republican.
Combine that with Catholic Charities getting its last decade of easy cash flow cut off with the ending of the NGO era in immigration, and you've got a leadership that's established itself in one paradigm watching the paradigm fall apart while its flock shifts politically under its feet.
This if flailing. It will work with the dedicated Democrat partisans in the laity but almost no one else.
I mean...Trump was talking shit to Francis in the lead up to 2024 when Trump won more Catholic votes than any Republican in history.

we know what the Church hierarchy is like. Criticizing them will not upset any Catholics who don't work for them.
case in point - after the gay cleric young boy attack thing came out, you know what the main change was for us normie Catholics? the RCC response here in the US?
to make it impossible for parents to even ENTER the schools. at all. I had to get all these clearances, as if I - or any parent - had been involved. and EVEN THEN I wasn't allowed in anymore except for very specific situations. so no more lunch/recess parents, no more parents reading to the littles, we were blocked.

Sad, the need for organizational maintenance and protection often override the core task of messages of faith.
Happens to all sects of Christianity more or less.
Once you have employees, facilities, and missions, then the organization seeks to protect and expand that.

Her husband John Bowes seems to have been awesome. He was a son of an earl but illegitimate - a "natural son" or a "fitz" rather than a bastard per se, but still couldn't inherit. So he went and bought a peerage from San Marino ... for Josephine. Also collected art which he was going to put in a museum in her honor, or should I say "honour".

GatewayPundit has Swalwell living the life of Hunter.
Disgraced California Rep. Eric Swalwell was caught on video looking completely bleary-eyed and wearing nothing but a robe while partying with a rotating crew of young “yacht girls” during a luxury blowout off the coast of St. Tropez.
According to a report from New York Post’s Page Six, the video shows Swalwell aboard a luxury yacht surrounded by a group of young women, described by sources as a rotating cast of mostly British and American guests, during what insiders called a “hush-hush” getaway.
The video was shared on Instagram by Nik Richie, CEO of Warrior Network Agency, a full-service public relations and marketing firm based in Newport Beach, California.
Sources familiar with the trip told the news outlet that the week-long excursion was alcohol-fueled and chaotic, with jet skiing, partying, and a constant flow of guests cycling on and off the vessel

CNN had a report this morning about a Fema official who claimed he was somehow teleported to a 'Waffle House.'

Iran's entire oil industry is roughly 2 million barrels a day. That mostly goes to China. It's about 10% of the daily export from the Persian Gulf in general and about 2% of the total oil market globally.
We've had weeks now of diverting oil away from the Persian Gulf in general, and then a blockade of Iranian imports and exports all of a sudden that's designed to allow Saudi, UAE, and Omani oil exports on the sea again.
And American oil is mostly benefiting from this with increased business.
Threatening the strait was one thing. Actually trying to exert influence over it was idiotic and suicidal on the IRGC's part.

Yes, the UK is deploying minesweepers and anti-drone systems to the Strait of Hormuz to help reopen the vital waterway, according to reports. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has clarified that these assets will assist in clearing mines and protecting commercial shipping, but the UK will not join the US-led blockade of Iranian ports.

Justice Alito just exposed the insanity behind unlimited birthright citizenship.
During Supreme Court arguments, Alito cut right through the nonsense and raised the question the open-borders crowd never wants to answer:
If someone can enter the United States illegally, have a child here, and that child is automatically handed full American citizenship, then who really controls who becomes a citizen?
The American people — or the people who break our laws to get here? That is the scam at the center of this entire debate.
This is not some harmless legal technicality. It is a direct attack on national sovereignty. It is about whether the United States still has the right to decide its own future, or whether the 14th Amendment has been twisted into a loophole that rewards illegal entry and weakens the meaning of citizenship itself. Alito exposed the heart of the problem: in a world of billions of people, just one flight away from American soil, automatic citizenship with no lawful presence, no allegiance, and no real connection to the country turns citizenship into a giveaway.
Cont.

The negotiations are kabuki.
They're designed to convince the world that America isn't being a total bully, giving Europe time to understand with clarity that Iran is not going to negotiate in good faith while we move more resources and munitions into the area.
And there's probably no small part of it than to get 40 or so major leaders of the Iranian government into one place they can be easily tracked from.

I'm still thinking the forms are being followed with the idea of actually passing the Act.
It could have been killed in committee months ago, and the Senate could have put up the BS story about "oh, we couldn't do it," had a bad news cycle, and moved on.
Instead...debate just started up again when the Senate came back.
Why? Why drag it out?
I think it's because Thune has to make Collins or Mitch or Tillis happy. One or two of those three (Murk is just gonna be a hard no because she's literally a Democrat), and Thune has to dance with them to make it happen. Collins controls her own future in Maine. Mitch and Tillis are retiring at the end of this Congress. Going through the elongated debate process may be their price.

"We tried. It failed. Let's think about other things now."
It's tried and tested. Remember, months is forever in politics. Everyone would have moved on.
Instead, the debate continues. That thing people insist needs to happen but act like isn't happening in order to get it passed.
Remember, the SAVE act has 49 cosponsors. It's one vote shy after bypassing cloture. That could be Collins who sits on a throne of skulls in Maine. What if her price really just is, "go through the motions"?

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.
Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?
Say, remember when that lady claimed that Biden had digitally violated her? And had contemporaneous evidence? Sure glad the Democrats held their own accountable.

Eh, I enjoy the old MGM musicals in their classic period and a few others like How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying.
And something like the Sound of Music is NOT stupid. American in Paris combines dance, music along with art that is well worth watching decades after the prime of the movie musicals. Impressive on a big screen. And so on.
Obviously, YMMV.

The Morning Report --4/ 14 /26
Good morning kids. Hopefully the sudden bizarre formatting bugs over the past couple of days have been ironed out and when this posts you should be free of the black diamonds or other distracting crap and see normal text, so thanks for bearing with it. With that out of the way, let's dive right in. On the latest episode of the podcast linked here
as well as in the sidebar and on the popular platforms noted at the bottom of the post, CBD a nd I took the logical approach in predicting that degenerate sex-pest and dupe/williing confederate of Chi-Com spy Fang Fang Eric Swalwell's departure from the California gubernatorial race would not necessarily affect his political career. Democrat scum criminals (pardon the redundancy) rarely if ever suffer any repercussions from their crimes. And so it comes as kind of a shock that not only has he withdrawn from the race for Sacramento but has actually resigned his House seat.
“I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make,” he said.Absolutely galling if not completely unsurprising is his hollow remonstration that these are "false allegations" even as he calls it quits in not only the governor's race but in ankling from Congress itself! Well, hell, if he's innocent then why head for the emergency exit?! Despite the fact that he's not only a Democrat but a California Democrat, which in theory should've made him utterly invulnerable; there have been musings over the past few weeks that California may not be so ironclad Democrat, and with their electoral system a hot mess there is even a chance, slim though it may be, that a Republican could win the statehouse or even swipe one or more House seats come November? So maybe there is something that the party bosses fear could be extremely damaging to the Democrats both as the race for the midterms heats up and perhaps longer term and, more crucially for the Leftist movement in general over the longer haul? UPDATE: Swalwell has not actually resigned but only announced his intention to resign. And that day might be tomorrow or the 12th of Never-JJS And elsewhere, although this is not news it nonetheless is absolutely bone-chilling and indicative of the mindset of the Democrat Party and Leftist movement.
“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties,” Swalwell added. “Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district.” Swalwell dropped out of the California governor’s race on Sunday night, after losing nearly all of his endorsements.
The Department of Justice under former [s0-called quote-unquote[President Joe Biden “withheld evidence” and approved “aggressive arrest tactics” when targeting pro-life defendants — and then slapped them with longer prison sentences than pro-abortion ones, according to an explosive internal review released Tuesday. The DOJ revealed the stunning abuses in a nearly 900-page report after examining more than 700,000 records related to the Biden administration&'s prosecutions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The 1994 law was passed to protect access to houses of worship, religious institutions, abortion clinics and pregnancy resource centers. But the Biden DOJ was found to have engaged multiple times in “biased enforcement” of it — while also collaborating with and even seeking to fund pro-abortion groups, according to the DOJ Office of Legal Policy report. Emails show the task force, led by civil division trial attorney Sanjay Patel, worked closely with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Feminist Majority Foundation and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) Security Team to initiate investigations and “monitor” pro-life activists — sometimes for years — before requesting arrest warrants and filing charges. In a Nov. 17, 2021, email, before the task force was launched, Patel had already praised NAF’s security director, Michelle Davidson, to colleagues as an “MVP” at “bringing incidents to my attention, often in real-time, which usually result in an investigation/prosecution.” The task force director was not nearly as chummy with defense counsel for one of the first pro-lifers indicted for illegally blocking access to an abortion clinic after the Dobbs decision, writing in a Feb. 22, 2023, email that he didn’t “keep the kind of records” the lawyer requested about the total number of “prosecutions for vandalisms of pregnancy centers. . . . . . The task force director claimed the “main reason” for the public show of force was “in hope of seizing phones” pursuant to search warrants, an Oct. 4, 2022, email disclosed. “I think the unspoken reason is bc the FBI really likes to make arrests,” Patel added. The Biden DOJ also liked to seek higher prison sentences against pro-lifers charged with non-violent FACE Act violations. On average, its prosecutors sought 26.8 months in prison for pro-life defendants, compared with 12.3 months averaged for pro-abortion ones.” . . . Judges also sentenced those pro-lifers at higher rates, 14 months to 3 months. President Trump, on his third day in office, signed pardons for 23 pro-lifers convicted of FACE Act violations under the prior administration, many of whom he said were “elderly” and should not have been prosecuted. Houck was acquitted by a federal jury in January 2023 and later reached a settlement with the Biden DOJ “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement Tuesday. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs.”This is as horrible and in some profound ways perhaps worse than assassins' bullets and molotov cocktails. Continuing in that vein the estimable Margot Cleveland who has covered this beat since the beginning.
These new revelations should wake Americans up to how the deep state and a complicit media sought to thwart their electoral will. . . . . .The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ('HPSCI')released two transcripts Monday morning from the 2019 closed-door interviews of the then-Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson. The just-released transcripts reveal new details behind the scheming that led to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.. . ... In addition to all the backdoor scheming between the “whistleblower,” Vindman, Democrats on HPSCI, and, through at best, his willful ignorance, Atkinson, the transcripts released Monday also highlight the politicization of the FBI that continued under Trump 1.0 after Director James Comey’s firing.
Have a great day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The EU Picks Up USAID’s Slack In Funding Foreign Election NGOs Across Europe - Globalists are hailing Orbán’s defeat as a signal that the “populist tide has turned,” but Péter Magyar was a member of Orbán’s party until 2024, and ran to the right of Fidesz on immigration and natalist policies, signaling that Orbán has shifted the Overton window on policy. Magyar is praised abroad mainly for his pro-European Union, pro-Ukraine stance, while Orbán has frequently been at odds with the EU and Ukraine, particularly over illegal immigration and the need to secure Hungary’s supply of Russian pipeline oil. Despite Magyar’s anti-Russian stance, there is widespread acknowledgment that some pragmatic energy cooperation with Russia must continue.

While not a majority, 40% of those responding said their taxes were either “much higher” (17%) or “somewhat higher” (23%). That compares with 10% who said their taxes were either “somewhat lower” (7%) or “much lower” (3%).
I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that the 40% number is based on either people in blue states which have raised the minimum wage or people who think everything is worse because Trump. I speculate thusly because the tax rate brackets remain the same but the levels in which they start has been adjusted for inflation.

Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the fake papers were then cited in peer-reviewed literature. Osmanovic Thunström says this suggests that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.
The preprints included a reference to the nonexistent Asteria Horizon University in “Nova City, California”. There was also a mention of “Starfleet Academy” (though an additional reference to Dr. Leonard McCoy would have been a nice touch).

so parishes are all sweating bk BUT they spend all their energies on "new arrivals" who NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING. they only cost. at St Agnes most of the congregation is from Latin America, and great whatever, they do not donate at Mass. They go to the school for almost-free and the parish has free daycare for them and a whole building for them to go to get basically anything they need, paid by the parish. We all wondered how this was actually working!?!
now we know! fed dollars paid for this. the parishes were hosting the illegals and getting big bucks from US taxpayers to do so.

What outrages Catholics is the preaching is selective and targeted at people who are conservative.
The Catholic Church sat silently as our ability to worship was stripped from us by Democrat Party authoritarians. They have never publicly gone after Democrats for their positions on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, propagandizing of children, attacks on the traditional family and many other things that not just sinful, but apostasies to the catholic faith. Sure we have gotten some detached reminders of what the teachings of Christ say about it. But never the full frontal attacks they make on people like Trump or the broad brush attacks just made by the bishops.
People were just starting to come back to the church. I can’t think of a faster way to reverse that than taking up the Democrat Party standard and running with it.

And the oddest part of this is that representative government should make this impossible because in theory even the leftwing FSA types are voting for THEIR OWN personal benefit, not to give the country's wealth to foreigners.
But we are seeing a combination of a mandarin class getting rich off the aid we give to foreigners/illegals/immigrants and massive vote fraud.
The reason that Dems are getting re-elected in districts full of FSA Franks is that FSA Frank stopped voting long ago...but the ballots still come in under his name.

I've got multiple income sources that make my return JUST complicated enough that it's hard to get it done on time (mainly because I am a lazy fuck who hates dealing with this shit), yet not complicated enough that I can justify hiring an accountant. So I usually put it off, and put it off, and put it off, until I'm filing an extension. At least I got it done on April 13 this year, rather than midnight on April 15.

While the return itself can be filed later in the year by filing for an extension, the tax payment for the tax year is due in full by April 15th. No wiggle room. Late payment interest and penalties start on April 16th on any unpaid balance.

Although as seen above, if you have absolutely no money to pay, how can you send any in? This is for those who file an extension because they can't pay. For those with complicated and updated filings, I can understand why they do it. A thousand for a CPA? HR Block doesn't charge that much for a regular return. If it's high income, CPA is probably the way to go.
These are only probable reasons, as I don't do any of them. Never filed for extensions, and only have one income per person in the house. I don't have any experience with the more complicated filings.

Sort of, but not quite. During the tax year itself (Jan 1 2025 - Dec 31 2025 with the final Estimated Tax Payment due by Jan 15 2026) if your tax withholding and estimated tax payments are 90+% of the Total Tax for that tax year, then you've met the "Safe Harbor Rule". You will not get an Estimated Tax Penalty for having too little paid in timely during the tax year.
Making a big catch-up payment with the extension is too late to avoid the Estimated Tax Penalty.
Safe Harbor Rule options:
1. Pay in 100% of the prior year's tax (match or beat 2024's Total Tax in 2025)
2. Pay in 90% of the current year's tax
3. For high income taxpayers, the option 1. percentage becomes 110% (AGI $75K+ for Single filers and $150K+ for MFJ filers)

The California attorney filing the sexual assault case against has depositions (sworn statements) from several victims of his, including former staffers of his. There have been no court cases yet because until now, Swallwell was powerful enough to block any charges from being filed against by anyone. She pushed hard to finally get a civil case into the Courts, and that’s what has broken the dam and allowed this to come tumbling out.
When you look at Swallell’s friendship and activities with Ed Buck, there’s also a good chance that Swallwell is at least an accessory to the murders of two homeless men for sexual reasons.
Swallwell should be doing 30 years in a federal penitentiary. Anything less than that and he gets off easy.

I'm speaking as someone who never got the "vax".
Do not repeat the nonsense in that article. It's a self report database and it seems to be comparing reports of a few week rollout of the vaccine in 2020 (66 cases) to a full year and calling it a "massive" increase. Somehow it makes it seem like there were only 66 miscarriages in 2020 and then 5000 in 2021 which is retarded.
The fetal mortality rate was 7.49 per 1,000 in 1990, 5.70 in 2019, 5.74 in 2020, 5.73 in 2021, and then 5.48 in 2022.
Those are CDC numbers. Maybe they are covering something up because they are liars. But quoting articles like the above or believing them makes us look like stone imbeciles.

If we're not actively moving towards universal healthcare, a strong social safety net, global warming informed policies, overturning Citizens United, and real accountability for traitors to the constitution when all this is done, then we will have lost the plot. I hope Dems don't disappoint us...again.
Don’t discount the effect interest in space due to Artemis on political support. If you have an astronaut running for president while the country is going moon crazy, the synergy could be massively influential.
We need to stop championing candidates who are president shaped and give every indication they’ll govern like a card carrying DNC member. '

Like all of the left, all they claim as "good" are more an evil inverse of actual good.
Kindness is enforced by the most vile and vicious attacks.
Charity is stealing from the industrious and giving it to the idle.
Happiness is drug induced and selfishness.
All these deceptions, which even many who call themselves faithful, fall away to because the words are the words of good, and intent or outcome is never examined.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz were lying about hospice fraud in California.
But 21 people have just been charged with $267 million in hospice fraud in the state.
That is not a small issue and it is not something politicians can keep ignoring.
Health care fraud does not just waste money.
It costs lives.
If just 21 people can rack up $267 million, imagine how many billions are being lost and how many deaths could have been prevented.

"Just war" is dumb concept invented by the schoolmen (yes, I know they're bigshots in the Catholic faith) who lacked the full gifts of the Spirit yet still felt empowered to gaze upon scripture and divine therefrom holy inspiration to proclaim to the entire Earth.
It's their personal, perhaps learned opinion, but it's not truth.

Anyway, remember Joe Biden was accused of groping women during his many years as a US Senator?
While Tara Reade became the political & press punching bag in 2020, there had been several other women who complained about his inappropriate touching over the years.

Jeannie Suk Gersen, A Fair Examination of the Allegations Against Joe Biden Can Strengthen the #MeToo Movement, NewYorker.com (May 6, 2020)
"Abstract: A truth that burst into public view with #MeToo in 2017 was that sexual exploitation in its many forms has been ubiquitous and experienced largely by women. So anyone following the story of #MeToo could hardly find it shocking that, after a promising primary season with a record number of excellent female candidates, the first Presidential election since the movement’s rise has come down to a race between two men who have both been accused of sexual assault.

As with anything you read where there's lots of money involved you have to sift through to find stuff of value. A lot of these people throwing shade are competing against each other.

Monday Overnight Open Thread - April 13, 2026 [scampydog]
The main dome of the observatory houses an 8.25 inch refracting telescope, on a German equatorial mount. The ashes of the astronomer Daniel Walter Morehouse, and those of his wife Myrtle, are interred within the wall of the observatory rotunda.Observatory sits in the middle of Waveland Golf Course, Des Moines, IA. Got a few good pictures of it over the weekend (and one golf ball a bit closer than I'd have liked).
“I get some pretty random commission requests, but when the National Catholic Educational Association contacted me about doing a live butter sculpture during their conference this year, I was interested,” Kulzer said. “After working out the logistics of keeping the butter cool, they decided they wanted a bust of Pope Leo and another butter block carved into their logo.”
Scampywife knows Gerry Kulzer, the sculptor. He is kind enough to share some butter with us on occasion - which is damned good. Here is some additional reading - light history of his journey and work.
What’s it like sculpting something that you know will somehow be used and eventually destroyed? All pottery is meant to be used. So use it. Drink out of it. Eat off the plate. Use that pottery. It’s the same with the butter here, I think. It’s butter. Let’s use it. Take that and use it for what it’s meant for.
It is April 13. For those who have not yet completed their taxes: Are you in a committed relationship with TurboTax? May you have the best of luck with your internet connection, the missing forms that were ‘right there,’ and your race against time. Remember, a good accountant can find humor in depreciation. Looks like people are running behind this year. And/or less tax filers. 2026 returns filed (so far). Link goes to irs.gov. Total returns e-filed through 4/8/2010 were 78.4M, with $61.4B in direct deposit refunds. As of 4/3/2026 98M returns have been e-filed, with $242.8B in direct deposit refunds.
Each year the IRS provides weekly cumulative statistics for returns filed, returns processed and refunds issued during the filing season and then at certain points after the filing season. The statistics compare totals as of Friday compared with the corresponding Friday in the prior year.
Forbes crunched some numbers. Seems the public has, "Where is my money at" on their brains.
While filing activity has been slower, taxpayer engagement has surged. IRS.gov has recorded 435,926,000 visits so far this season, a sharp 58% increase over the same period last year. Taxpayers appear to be checking their refund status more frequently or seeking clarity on tax law changes thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
It's all about the arms. Nanotyrannus: The Tyrannosaur Dwarf Tyrant.
Perhaps the most anatomically decisive feature is the forelimb. Nanotyrannus possesses arms and hands that are absolutely longer than those of T. rex, not just longer in proportion to body size. This distinction is critical: as animals grow, limb bones lengthen—they do not shorten. The hands appear more functional than the famously reduced arms of T. rex, suggesting a greater role in prey handling or stabilization. While still small relative to body size, the forelimbs of Nanotyrannus fit a predator that retained more versatility in its front limbs.A full-size replica would fit nicely in a yard next to the full size T-Rex.
Unexpected / stood out. Was in the Charlotte airport on Easter Sunday, dodging Bloody Marys and Screwdrivers while housing a glazed cinnamon donut, when over the intercom came an announcement for a 10:30 a.m. Catholic Mass in the airport. Looked around for reactions and either everyone was deaf or the easily offended were not around. They repeated the announcement two more times before I boarded my flight - and for a moment, Gate A39 felt almost like holy ground. In that spirit, let’s take a look at some interesting churches and chapels.
Within the modest-looking St. Batholomew's Church (also called the Kaplica Czaszek) are the skulls and bones of over 3,000 people, decorating the ceiling and walls, and arranged in various patterns—mostly in a repeating crossed bones Jolly Roger-style—with another 21,000 skeletons stuffed in the church crypt below. Collected by Czech priest Vaclav Tomasek and J. Langer, the local gravedigger, it took the pair some 18 years, from 1776 to 1794, to collect, clean, and arrange as many as 24,000 human skeletons that pack the church. While the majority of the skeletons are stacked in a 16-foot-deep crypt beneath the church, the rest are beautifully displayed in what Tomasek saw as a "sanctuary of silence."
Now we are talking! Church in Belgrade with chandeliers made out of bullet casings, swords, rifles, and cannon parts.
Some interesting churches in North America.

Moderately amusing news Sheep invade German grocery store. There's a political affiliation joke in here somewhere. Video at the link.
He said he wasn’t entirely sure how they broke from the rest of the flock, but he speculated the group was distracted by acorns on the ground and eventually wandered in the vicinity of the store before spotting someone carrying a tote that resembled one of their feed bags and following them inside.
Golfed with a guy over the weekend that took a Waymo taxi while in Phoenix. Not this one, however.
A Phoenix business owner captured a scary scene involving a Waymo driving on a light rail track with a passenger inside.
Fake Maple Syrup. Scandal. Canada, of course.
Enquête purchased five cans of Bourdeau's syrup at random from different stores and from different batches and took them to the provincial laboratory responsible for testing and assuring quality control for maple syrup in Quebec, le centre ACER, for analysis.
The results were unequivocal. All five cans, each labelled pure maple syrup, contained at least 50 per cent cane sugar.

I intended to do it today, but my horse bucked me off yesterday so I'm taking it easy. Maybe I'll just walk to the mailbox tomorrow and hope for the best. They were paid in good time so the postal stamp on the forms shouldn't matter too much anyway. It annoys me to have to fill out the forms. I'm pretty sure the IRS already has all the information since I'm a standard deduction filer. They should have an option on the w-4 for "standard deduction, just send me the bill or refund"

I've been away from the blog since morning and see I've missed some interesting things, like the business with Gen Z and their anxiety packs. To be fair, Boomers had theirs: We called them "six-packs" or "fifths," or "bottles of Valium or Miltowns." An ice pack and a fan are a lot healthier -- and I guess cheaper than a fifth of even cheap bourbon nowadays.
Anyway! I told Miss Linda about my plan to travel to Kansas this week. She was not feeling well, but I couldn't wait any longer. The silence was deafening and the enthusiasm was about the same as if I'd told her I was returning Stirling to his shelter . . . in fact, she'd have been downright vocal about *that*. Showing her pics of houses in Kansas and the travel brochure with the bison herd? Nothing.
Well. There's nothing I can do about any of that. It is what it is.

These fuckin' dirty ass animals loot you like you were a wig shop in Memphis, and pump that money into a system where at least half the budget is outright fraud, and income tax receipts are a fraction of the outlay, alongside corporate taxes, borrowing, and laundering of printed money.
For all intents and purposes, every working American can safely assume that 100% of the fleece being shorn from his hide is going to buy BMWs for baloon-headed desert rats from Somalia or obese Aztec drug dealers.

First I had heard of it. Maple syrup is not on my usual shopping list, but it is far superior to synthetic syrups made from cane sugar or worse sugars. If you are going to sell an expensive artisanal food product, it damn well better be pure and authentic. IIRC, the State of Kentucky is pretty diligent about preserving the purity of bourbon, too.

There should be no withholding.
All taxes must be paid in cash or check in full.
The date of payment shall be the Thursday prior to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
(The first Tuesday after the first Monday in November is Election Day.)
It puts all of those taxes on you as a single burden - not hidden in your paycheck - and it doesn't work as a forced savings account (expecting to get something back out of what you gave to the gov't). And right before you go into the voting booth in a few days and decide who should be deciding how much you should pay.
Would it suck for all the taxpayers? Yes, that's the point.

The "Revenge" tour of 47 requires that Swalwell be prosecuted on every, single, charge available, and as many as possible at the Federal level. If a vehicle registered to him ever received a parking ticket in front of Federal property, they should look to find what the maximum the charges could be upgraded to.

When that dude took a swan dive was in the mid-later 70's. It was during one of those high adventure scout trips when we did some cliff climbing and repelling. We were told about the incident by other hikers. The last time I was there was in 1985-6.

Chicoms are about to try another moonshot of their own, the Chang'e-7 lander, with and orbiter and a little "hopper" probe. They got the spacecraft to the launch complex a few days ago, and are aiming for an August launch.
They're going to try to land on the rim of Shackleton Crater at a near permanent sun-lit peak, and then the hopper is going to jump off into one of the permanent shadowed regions in the crater and look for water in the dirt. The hopper has a little drill on it.

The maximum loan amount for a student is based on the 10 year earning potential of everyone who pursued that major. If the average over the 10 year period, including dropouts, is $500k, the loans are limited to $25k. If it's $1m, the max is $50k. If graduates start at less than 25% over minimum wage, the limit is zero.
The school, college, or university issues the loans. Not guarantees, issues. If the student defaults, the school loses.

Actually no. Friends of mine go all the time, but I never made it to that. The main reason is that up until recently none of my bikes were actually distance bikes. I mean they'll be comfortable, but there isn't any place to pack gear on them, and we never seem to have a chase vehicle either to pile stuff in. I picked up a touring harley 2 years ago for rides like that, so I might actually go this year.

WASHINGTON, DC, Eric Swalwell announced he is resigning from Congress following multiple sexual misconduct and sexual assault allegations, in a statement that landed with the exact grace of a vending machine falling down a flight of stairs.
His press release aimed to strike that classic political balance between “these allegations are false” and “I have made mistakes,” giving readers the rare luxury of watching a PR team perform a three-legged sack race directly into a river.
Witnesses described the rollout as deeply serious, highly emotional, and somehow still written in the tone of a man asking if there’s any way to make this all go away by close of business.
Senior Democrats praised the move as responsible, courageous, and long overdue, since yesterday, which in Washington is usually what you say right before pretending he doesn’t have compromising pictures of you.
At press time, aides were reportedly clearing out Swalwell’s office, including a ring light, one monogrammed coffee mug, and a folder marked “if this leaks, act shocked

Now (retired. - no W2s) I have SS, a bunch of 1099-int from bank accounts and some old insurance policies, 1099-R from IRAs, AND 1099-div. The div income is the only complicated part, but I use Vanguard and Fidelity brokerages, and their end of year documentation spells out qualified and non-qualified. The only part of my taxes that requires any real effort on my part has to do with capital gains.
That said, I've used Free Tax USA for the last three years with no problems. With the forms I get electronically, the program extracts the data, making it even simpler.
It's free for the federal forms and less than $20 for the state.

Yeah I'm still trying to find out if the guys are actually up to that ride. Some are, but others I'm not sure. One dude rides nothing but old shovelheads. All in nice shape, but not something you want to scream along on a highway for hours, so they'll be looking to do back roads. Half of them seem to ride from bar to bar. We took an 80 mile ride up to stokes state forest where we rented a cabin for a few days to do some nice roads up there, It's maybe a 2 hour ride from here doing it on back roads, and it took us 5 hours because of all the stops. I think laconia is 335 miles from here. God only knows how long it would take with them.

I'm just getting started on mine. Was trying to figure out Dad's personal and Dad's trust, he passed away in May 2025. Turns out the acct says with an extension I have till Aug and don't have to pay on either now. Wonder if that's correct but it is a relief.
Ours should be simple enough, though I wonder if the large medical bills might make it better to itemize. The standard deduction is so large now I doubt it's even worth the effort to try.
Thanks for this post Doof. It made me realize I've done my own taxes since I was 16 and that was over 50 yrs ago. They taught us in HS, wonder if they do that today.

Does anyone have a 2500-3500 pickup?
For about $400-500/week, you could rent a 28-30 ft flatbed trailer that you could get 5 or 6 bikes onto. 330 miles is a leisurely 7 hrs.
When I moved, I hauled an ST1100 and a dirt bike along with a jeep on a 26' flatbed.

This Pope is a Cranky Franky acolyte. He bowed down to the Pachamama idol along with Frank and his cohort. Haven't heard word one from him about all the Catholics being slaughtered in Nigeria and other African countries, but boy, let DJT knock off some Muzzie Terrorists and all hell breaks loose in the Vatican.
I still pray that the next Pope be actually, y'know, Catholic.

Studebaker's union problem was that they never took a big strike; always bargained and settled instead, so wound up saddled with some of the highest labor rates in the industry. I don't know if there were any right-to-work States in the early '60's, but if they had packed up and moved to one, they might still be in business as an automaker.

Moore's work with Rick Veitch on Swamp Thing was pretty trippy.
To be fair, Rorshach's persona was Moore's reinterpretation of Steve Ditko's The Question, and echoed (if darkly) Ditko's hard righteous attitude.
(For any unclear on the history, after DC acquired the Charlton comics superdupers, Moore was tapped by DC to write them into the DC universe, but Moore's ideas were so awful, they had him keep the concept but change the whole thing to all-new characters in the standalone Watchmen. Which worked marvelously, so to speak.)

Studebaker was hot, looked hot, performed hot but didn't hang together like Ford or Chevy. There was no customer service back then so it had to be hang time, parts availability (Chevy beat them all), and ease of repair.

Well we got a few trucks and a few bike trailers between us, so thats not a problem. I think its more of a what kind of sad sack flaccid dick mofos who are seasoned riders can't handle a 335 mile ride. These guys have multiple bikes each, and they have ones that can easily do that ride. They're talking about doing sturgis one year, and as someone who did that 10 years in a row I have definite doubts they could handle it. 2-300 mile days out there is not uncommon. I look at Laconia as a test, it will weed out the crowd.

Some years back, there was an Irish group who came here for the local music & arts fest, and driving up from Tulsa they remarked how the low, rolling green hills reminded them of the Emerald Isle. This time of year, when we've had some nice rains and Spring has burst out all over, it's especially so. Under the blistering August sun with some drought, it can be not quite as much so.

Radio played clips of a 1979 interview with Ben Stein promoting his new book. (didn't get the title) the context; he interviewed TV directors, writers, and producers, his conclusion was two fold, these people were completely disassociated from standard America and their programming was shaping America's value perception.

I was never in with the LDR guys, although I knew quite a few. I picked up a SS1000 just to prove to myself I could do (and get the Iron Butt plate holder), but to that crew, anything less than 400 miles was a short day trip, so I sorta snicker at "2-300 mile days". The ST was, of course, set up a lot better than 90% of Harleys for that kind of riding, but I went from Portland to Pgh 4 times over the years, once with the wife on the back, and the longest trip had 4 nights in motels. The shortest was 1 night in Laramie, and 1 in Decatur.
Now, as an official Old Geezer, I have a Spyder, and anything over 100 miles, it goes on the trailer. 2 years ago, I did a 3500 MI loop around the Intermountain west and the Pacific coast.with the trailer+bike. I probably put less than 400 MI on the Spyder. Getting old is a bitch.

Well nothing really happened. I went for a catheterization, they said oh looky, you need surgery, and they sent me to the hospital. I didn't have a heart attack or anything, the heart was fine, there was no event, so I think after I got to the hospital I had my phone, got on the board and said where I was. I don't remember how much I was on here though. I had a killer private room, the building was new so it was like a starship. I had a 60 inch TV that was constantly playing star wars and star trek, so i might have been distracted. Funny story actually. The minute I woke up after surgery my nurse was standing over me and says "we fixed you up, you did great". I said you're done? I don't feel any pain, no shit, that was easy. I looked over and saw the TV and said Oooh star wars is on and started watching. She looked at me and rolled her eyes and shook her head as if to say this fucking guy. lol

No. She had a stroke last month, ( Friday the 13th, no less!) and while it wasn't a catastrophic stroke, the doctors said she needs 24 hour care. She spent a few weeks in the geriatric psych ward along tbe way. Has hallucinations, which is nothing new, and seldom had any idea where she was. Told me she went rollerskating all day, for instance, or had spent all day in the airport. I think this was more about being away ftom home, and not stroke related. She was fine mentally the morning we realized she'd had the stroke. But she always gets confused when she's away from home more than a night or two, especially when I'm not there, and you're not allowed to stay with patients in the psych ward. She's still very confused in the nursing home, and wants to come home and it's breaking my heart. But she can't get up on her own, or walk, and that combined with the hallucinations and confusion is why the hospital wouldn't release her to her home.

There has been A TON of shit on radio about "why are we bothering going to the moon ? we already know how to got to the moon".
Its the typical shit from the typical folks of typical generations. Anybody ever forget how to do something ? Anybody ever try to run a crew and watch them - in real time - get worse at something because they haven't done that task in a while ?
That's why NASA went to the Moon. And took too long to do it again. Because you forget how to do important shit if you don't do it now and again.

Posted by: toby928(c) at April 13, 2026 07:58 PM (4NO2D)
The word is derived from haly (holy) and butte (flat fish), for its popularity on Catholic holy days. Halibut are demersal fish and are highly regarded as a food fish as well as a sport fish.
A 2018 cladistic analysis based on genetics and morphology showed that the Greenland halibut diverged from a lineage that gave rise to the Atlantic and Pacific halibuts. The common ancestor of all three diverged from a lineage that gave rise to the genus Verasper, comprising the spotted halibut and barfin flounder.
There are 3 species:
Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus – lives in the North Atlantic.
Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis – lives in the North Pacific Ocean.
Greenland halibut, Reinhardtius hippoglossoides – lives in the cold northern Atlantic, northern Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.

Turkey attempting an invasion of Israel would be a slaughter. An attempted airlift would likely be destroyed before entering Israel. Their navy is not (yet) capable of projecting force on this scale. They'd have to enrage every Arab State to do it. It would be a suicidal folly. Erdogan won't do it.

Kinda reminds me of the old Cooper River Bridge in Charleston before they tore it down.
Built in 1929, she was a rollercoaster ride.
Only about 16 feet wide for two lanes and you could almist reach out the window and slap the railing as you rode by.

I hate arguing, but each of those is a separate fish. Brim, or bream, is generally the red-eared sunfish (I think).
Posted by: MkY
That's my understanding.
Perch = long yellow & green fish. Smaller cousin of the walleye.
Sunfish = round green fish. Several related species. Often called "Bluegill" in MN, even if they aren't bluegills. Bream and Pumpkinseeds are other varieties.
Crappie = round black & white fish. Two related species.

Here ya go.
My wife said she's divorcing me for not being a real American. I wasn't really surprised though.
Saw it coming from a kilometer away.
My wife called me at the bar and said if I wasn't home in ten minutes she'd feed the dinner she made to the dog.
I was home in five minutes.
I'd hate to see the dog eat anything of hers.
A polar bear walks into a bar.
He orders a drink.
"I'll have a rum...
...
...
And coke."
Bartender asks "OK but why the pause?"
The bear replies, "I was born with them."

Yeah, it's weird. When it was happening, I was crippled. My wife was disturbed and asked me to explain how it was hurting, and I couldn't.
I just told her that I wished I could cut the foot off.

Shot in the ass with Prednisone and a script for the pills.
The shot will have noticeable effects with an hour or so.
Save most of the prednisone pills for later.
The purinol works good too. First time you take it usually triggers gout, so they usually give steroids with it when you start it. Cheap stuff (at least my co-pay is like $5 for three months). Don't know why my Doc originally suggested the Prednisone as cheaper until gout becomes a monthly thing.

Eric Swalwell Attempts to Short-Circuit Investigation and Effort to Expel Him, Saying He "Plans" to Resign (No Date Given)
SWALWELL STATEMENT ON CONGRESSIONAL RESIGNATION "I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make. "I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong.But Trump is an Agent of Putin who should resign, right whinybaby?
"But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. "I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district."Not that I think he's a sneaky lying conniving little shit or anything, but I think he's claiming he "plans" to resign to cool off the torch-carrying mob. I think he will plan to un-resign if this succeeds in taking off the heat. So: Expel him. Jonathan Turley discusses something I was thinking about. Usually former Democrat politicians are guaranteed either a job in the leftwing propaganda media or a job as a lobbyist or "lawyer" (really just a lobbyist) with a Democrat firm. But is Fartwell going to get that?
ConversationWhen I read Fartwell's compelled apology, I read it as him accepting that this phase of his life is now over and that he's attempting to build a bridge to the next phase, whatever that is. He's done with elective politics, and is apologizing (cynically) to regain some of the public goodwill he'll need to get his next Guaranteed Democrat Position. But is there any amount of goodwill that will get him one of the prized Consolation Jobs in media, fundraising, "consulting," or acting a fixer at a Democrat law firm? The Trump Curse takes another victim. It's more powerful than the curse that protected King Tut's Tomb.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
In one week, Eric Swalwell was forced to drop out of the California race, put under criminal investigation in New York, and is the subject of a bipartisan expulsion effort. He was even kicked out of the home of a billionaire who was letting him crash. However, that is not all...
...Swalwell is unlikely to avoid expulsion, but he may not have his law degree to fall back on. If these rape and sexual harassment claims are established, he is likely to face disbarment demands. Even his prior boosters at MS NOW and CNN are unlikely to offer him a media deal... ...I will be discussing Swalwell on America Reports today. However, the collapse of Swalwell is accelerating with the opening of what appears to be an expedited House Ethics Committee investigation. ...I have been one of Swalwell's most persistent critics through the years. He has always been shielded by the Democratic establishment and the media. Now, he is persona non grata without a friend in the world.

Swalwell clearly did this for the good of the nation when he would have been well justified to fight these unproven sexual assault and rape allegations by people whose names are being hidden by the media from the bright shining light of Truth. What an absolute stud.
*Snort*
Is it too much to hope that Swalwell gets sued civilly for sexual assault and nailed with a $100 million judgement. That is the standard that was applied to Trump even though his psycho accuser couldn't even remember what year that occured. Imagine the case that could be brought against this POS by his victims who actually know when, where, and how they were sexually assaulted.

See how that works? Credible accusations, denial, then resign. Not if you’re a Republican. Gonzalez won’t resign. His victim only set herself on fire /s 😢
And a smattering of slightly different ones:
Wait, why would he do this? I just read an article over the weekend that said congress was likely going to force him out, but it would have been part of a package deal where 2 dems and 2 republicans were all forced out due to sexual allegations. Now there's no way the republicans go along with getting rid of their own.
Is this a safe D seat? I don’t know where his district is in CA.
I’m not surprised after the democrats sandbagged him in the California governors race.
He's not the victim here.

There's a local trust fund kid politician in SoCal who's been through this. He ran as a Republican for a Congressional seat, lost in the primary, switched to Independent so he could stay in the race, lost, switched to Democrat so he could -- this is where I get lost, because I can't remember when he switched to Dem.
Anyway, that did the trick because he got into state or local legislature, then got caught in all kinds of vice scandals, resigned and boo-hooed and vowed to do better, went to rehab, and... he's taken the first steps to a comeback. We shall see if he succeeds.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with DeYanna Ostroushko at the Women' March In Minneapolis. DeYanno is an Iranian American whose father immigrated to the United States, and she is also the wife of @mnangryman.
She talked about why it's so important to keep showing up and continuing to speak out, especially right now, and why protecting women's rights, immigrant communities, and reproductive freedom matters so much to her.
DeYanna also shared that she has family in Iran who are scared right now, and that she has lost contact with them as phone and internet communication inside the country has been disrupted.
A powerful reminder of how personal these moments are for many people, and why so many continue to raise their voices and show up.

By Rachel Hutton, The Minnesota Star Tribune, January 27, 2026 at 3:00PM

>Twin Cities Crime Watch & Information
Lorenzo Amadeo Garcia, 20, of St. Cloud, was arrested out at Whipple yesterday during an anti-ICE protest on probable cause obstructing the legal process. Paige Ostroushko, who was captured on camera assaulting TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez, said in a subsequent video that Garcia is her boyfriend.
Videos from the scene showed Garcia obstructing deputies as they tried to detain Paige Ostroushko for questioning following the assault.
ICYMI: The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office indicated they will submit three people for charges in connection to the assault on Hernandez, and indicated Garcia will be charged with "GM obstruction with force" against a deputy.
Garcia was released from custody this morning "pending complaint."

Posted by: garrett at April 13, 2026 06:22 PM (3JuEJ)
IANAL, but AI makes it so easy to look things up, so... just for funsies:
* "Additional relevant federal statutes include 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights) for agreements to injure or intimidate individuals exercising constitutional rights ..." (There are other kinds of impairment of civil rights that don't apply here, including "under color of law" for gov't authorities, and "hate crimes" affecting interstate commerce.)
* "Federal jurisdiction typically requires the crime to cross state lines, involve interstate commerce, or occur on federal property," and the assault occurred "outside the Whipple ICE Facility (also known as the Whipple Federal Building) in Minneapolis"; so, depending on the precise property line, there could be another nexus for Federal charges there.

Swalwell was taken out by a Democrat(s) because there are too many of them in CA governors jungle primary. Right now 2 Republicans are winning because there are 5 or 6 Democrats splitting the Democrat vote and the top two run for the whole thing.

Quick Hits
In January, Eric Fartwell promised that if he were elected governor, he would strip ICE officers of their California drivers licenses. I guess they're safe for now.
The first Star Wars movie to be released in nearly seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is tracking for a low opening weekend. It's projected to take in a mere $71 million over the three-day Memorial Day weekend frame. (I learned the term "frame" from these stupid box office reports and wanted to use it so that I sound smart.) Headcase Ruby Rose claims that Katy Perry sexually assaulted her years ago and I'm just rooting for injuries.Katy Perry has denied Ruby Rose's accusations that the singer sexually assaulted her two decades ago. The "Orange Is the New Black" actress, 40, claimed in a series of Threads posts on Sunday that the alleged incident occurred at a nightclub in Melbourne, Australia when she was in her 20s. "Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s--t what she thinks," Rose wrote in response to Complex Music's post about Perry, In her next Threads message, Rose said it's taken her "almost two decades" to make the accusation public. "Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me," she stated. Perry's rep denied Rose's claim in a statement to Page Six. "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies," the rep said. "Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named," the statement continued. Reps for Rose did not respond to Page Six's request for comment regarding Perry's denial. On Threads, Rose gave more details about the alleged incident. "She didn't kiss me. She saw me 'resting' on my best friend's lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her," she claimed about Perry. Rose alleged, "After it I threw up on her, I told the story publicly but changed it to be a 'funny little drunk story' because I didn't know how else to handle it. Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn't a good person. "
Brent BakerVideo here.
@BrentHBaker Don't want Iran to lose if it means Trump wins. @TomFriedman of @NYTimes really wants "to see Iran defeated militarily because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region," but on CNN's @Smerconish he fretted "the problem is I really don't want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are too awful human beings. They are both engaged in anti-democratic projects in their own countries. They're both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America's standing in the world and Israel's standing in the world."
Hans MahnckeGee I wonder who this blind item from 2017 was about?
@HansMahncke 5h One of the most corrupt episodes in American public life, and that's a very crowded field, is the way legacy media, social media platforms, and Big Tech all colluded to prevent anyone from naming, let alone publishing, the Ukraine whistleblower's name. Given this guy's history as an anti-Trump operative, that blackout robbed the public of hugely important information and directly fed into the false impeachment of a sitting president. But it goes even further than that. The same fake news outlets enforcing that silence had previously run stories defending him against reporting that later turned out to be eerily accurate. Take for instance what @Cernovich was saying in 2017, specifically that Ciaramella wanted to sabotage Trump, that he was a leaker, and that he was strongly pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia. All of that later turned out to be exactly right, and there is little doubt that if the public had been told that people had warned in advance about Ciaramella and his role in targeting Trump, it would have collapsed the impeachment effort very quickly. That is why his name was kept hidden. It had nothing to do with privacy or any of that other nonsense.
mrs.frazzledThat's from a CNN piece about sexual harassment by Congressmen. Obviously CNN didn't want to dig too deeply into this. Another flashback: A propaganda media "journalist" claimed Elise Stafanik was a conspiracy theorist spreading the theory, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Adam Schiff helped draft the repulsive Eric Ciaramella's complaint for him. Amazing: Even though the propaganda media covered up for Eric Fartwell for a decade, and even though the story was only published due to Democrat-connected partisans organizing the hit on Fartwell for cynical political reasons, Brian Stelter actually claims the story represents a triumph of "investigative reporting" by the media that covered it up!
@ms_frazzled Now that this is out of the bag, I want you all to see something from 2017.
This is probably the dumbest thing Brian has ever said, which is no small feat. It is so breathtakingly stupid that you instinctively assume it must be satire or some kind of elaborate joke, only to discover that no, this is simply what he thinks passes for a serious point. https://t.co/eq0Yfr2b2T

And model Josh Kloss who claimed she pulled down his underwear in front of staff working on the Teenage Dream Video. Then she was accused of kissing TV presenter Tina Kandelaki. Benjamin Glaze on American Idol accused her on kissing him without consent. Glaze's credibility has been questioned since he pled guilty to being a pdf.
I was already on Ruby's side, and then read what Katy did to her! Why would you subject someone to potential pink eye holy shit
While I know that here on Reddit we believe women and hate Katy Perry, I feel compelled to mention that Ruby Rose is a nut.
I've never understood why Katy Perry was as popular as she was, especially with men. She always seemed pretty mid and basic to me.

.................................
I realize this is not the point, as I do think Katy Perry is part of the satanic cult that's out there...what bugs me when people don't report proper anatomy terms. Which I won't go into here.
I think it would have been physically impossible for Perry to do this with her vag vs this person saying the correct term. This does not replace the disgust and she did good to projectile vomit.
If any of it is true it does not change the fact that Perry was at one time hanging with Hil Clinton at some of those weird parties by the witch, Marina Abramovic.
Unrelated, but another evil person is Nicole Kidman, as her father was a perv/pedo in Australia and, I think, this explains her. Why she is in every movie on earth I am unsure, and I won't watch her.
Today I saw a headline that Kidman is studying to become a "death doula." Which I find fitting. If I was dying and saw her skeleton hands near me it would put me over the edge quickly. Maybe she'll go to Canada for the suicide pods.

Blame Roberts.
He had no justification for censoring Ciaramella's name during the Senate trial.
Also, anyone in the House or Senate could have used his name on the floor, protected by the Speech and Debate clause.
Trump had/has many enemies in the "GOP."

I was already on Ruby's side, and then read what Katy did to her! Why would you subject someone to potential pink eye holy shit
If some skank surprised me by smearing her vagina on my face, "pink eye" wouldn't be in the top one-thousand concerns running through my head.

I do not have a clue on what is going to happen in regards to oil and natural gas prices but there are super tankers lined up in the Gulf of America heading to Texas and Louisiana to load up with gas and oil.
Short term it is going to be a boom for the oil and gas industry in the US. Long term, I read that the house of saud is opening up the pipelines to full capacity to avoid the straits of hormuz.

No, not the 'harder' part.
No oil from Iran means less overall, and less overall means higher prices for everyone. However, we don't need to import it, so no tariffs or 'crossing the ocean' transportation fees, and there's a non-trivial chance that Trump has an understanding with the oil companies not to short us *too* much.
So there will be pain all around, but more for everyone else, so we come out ahead, at least until someone figures out a long term replacement for Iran's oil (which could be Iran under new leadership), at which point prices will have gone back down. In the meantime, more business for our oil industry means possibly more jobs, and more tax revenue, if you care about that sort of thing.

*Snort*
Is it too much to hope that Swalwell gets sued civilly for sexual assault and nailed with a $100 million judgement. That is the standard that was applied to Trump even though his psycho accuser couldn't even remember what year that occured. Imagine the case that could be brought against this POS by his victims who actually know when, where, and how they were sexually assaulted.

The Most Neurotic Generation In History, Gen Z, Now Won't Leave Home Without Their "Anxiety Bags," Bags Filled with Self-Soothing Gizmos
"Experts call it genius," the NY Post claims.
Oh young women are adopting this viral trend? I didn't see that coming.
Hannah Fowles was spiraling. It had been a grueling day at work, and by the time the 22-year-old from Provo, Utah, got home, panic was bubbling in her chest as her thoughts raced and her cheeks flushed red. "I was starting to get super overheated and I couldn't calm myself down," Fowles told The Post. "Nothing that I normally do, like breathing exercises or lying down in a dark room, was working." Then she saw the bag.
Just weeks earlier, Fowles and her therapist had put together a small, grab-and-go kit filled with items to help calm her mind when anxiety strikes -- an idea she'd first come across while scrolling on TikTok. She now reached for it, swallowing her anxiety medication and pressing a cold pack to the back of her neck. She flicked on a small portable fan, letting the cool air wash over her face, while in her other hand, she gripped a spiky fidget toy, feeling its prongs dig into her palm as the panic began to ebb. "Within 10 minutes, I was able to calm down and go to sleep. It normally doesn't happen that quickly," Fowles said. "I never would have thought to have these things until I made the bag. It's been a game-changer -- I use it all the time." Others her age are finding relief in the same way.
Call them anxiety bags, panic pouches, calm-down kits -- whatever the name, these DIY creations are rapidly gaining popularity online, especially among Gen Z women.
The "body scan" thing that's mentioned works for reducing stress and falling asleep. There's a "guided meditation" here. The basic gist is that you focus on one part of your body at a time (I just do parts of my head) and imagine the nerves and muscles switching off and going slack. I think it's the same principle as counting sheep -- it's not what you're thinking, it's all the stuff you're not thinking about by focusing on this boring, repetitive, non-stressful thing. By making your brain focus on this one boring thing, you keep your brain from buzzing or catastrophizing. I only tried it because someone said they tell special ops guys to do this. They have limited time to sleep in, and are usually very keyed-up, and this protocol helps them fall asleep in the few hours they're allowed to sleep.* That sounded bad-ass and Not Gay to me, so I tried it, and it does work. I don't bother to do this any more. Now I just put on episodes of Always Sunny I've seen 50 times before. Same idea again: Your brain is trained on this boring thing (every show is boring after 50 watches) and that's just enough to keep you from thinking about more exciting things. * I also knew a spec op medic who said he's very loose with ketamine and other tranquilizers to make sure people can sleep even after coming off 10 hours of combat. So I guess there's that, too.
It's easy to see why. In a survey of nearly 1,000 Americans aged 18 to 26, 61% reported having a diagnosed anxiety condition, and 43% said they experience a panic attack at least once a month. And while many turn to talk therapy and medication to cope, those tools don't always work in the heat of the moment. "Stuff like mindfulness and body scans are great, but you have to remember to do them," said Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a physician and behavioral neuroscientist. "When you're in an environment like ours, this storm of hyper-stimulating triggers, you won't necessarily have the ability to remember to do those things anymore." That's where anxiety bags come in. Keeping self-regulation tools within reach during moments of high stress and sensory overload is, in Bobinet's words, "genius." "It's a way of distracting and soothing," she explained. "It creates other sensations to focus on so that you don't feel completely taken over by the rapid firing of your anxious or depressed mind."
Call them anxiety bags, panic pouches, calm down kits... whatever the name, these DIY creations are rapidly gaining popularity online... amongst the liberal crowd no doubt. 🙄😏 pic.twitter.com/LvS2eA0Ir1

These people are the most coddled, least threatened people in the history of the world...
And they have more anxiety than the people in this country who had (or in other countries who still have) to work every day to make sure they were able to EAT and live.
Humans need challenge and struggle. These neurotic porcelain dolls are fragile precisely because they've never had to struggle. So they imagine their own struggle. (Another was of phrasing it: Humans are anti-fragile)

I've raised my kids to be tougher, which isn't a big challenge, so they can outcompete these sissies in real life.
But, on balance - the Z kids appear to be much better people than my Millennial cohort. I wouldn't call them worthless degenerates like my cohort. I wouldn't call them intolerant, hyperconformist, borderline-braindead Jacobins like my cohort. I wouldn't say they ruined everything like my cohort did.

These people aren't unique in that regard. They're unique because they literally have nothing to live for. You used to have to live to survive. Either you had your shit together on purpose and life was good, or you didn't and you had to scramble and hustle just to keep from starving or getting killed somehow.
These people have the luxury of not having to fight for survival, but without having had any exposure even to the concept of fighting for survival. There's no work ethic. There's no hustle. There's no reason they should. They're basically pets.
Embracing neurosis gives them the internal struggle they need to give their existence some kind of pathetic meaning.

In between, I had to fix a printer driver problem for a 2018 Color Laser printer on our network. The driver did not like the change from cable modem and router ISP to new cheaper fiber optic ISP provider gateway. Had to reinstall the printer using old bash script and archaic driver along with the latest version of CUPS. Got it working.
To me, the biggest barrier to Linux acceptance are the driver situation as mfgs simply do not update their drivers and they can break on linux with new patches and upgrades.
Getting to be an issue for Windows too. I have an All in One Canon in the basement which will be Windows 10 4ever after I managed to find a windows driver from Canon India support page for Win 8.1. Original driver was XP SP3 vintage.

How much does this crap cost in the litle bag? Is there a douche bag as well? Seems like there should be a Summer's Eve in there. Or a Fleet's Enema. Either/or/both while having a minty life saver. That would distract them.
I don't know what I'd do if I had a daughter like this. Probably give her xanax that I would be popping in depression that I birthed a dimwit.
My oldest grandgirl is 5yrs old and would scare them (she scares us at times). My husband saw her knocked down flat playing by a larger boy and she got up unfazed and continued on with her life. Just get out of her way. Unstoppable is our girl.

Js daughter, who has an AWFL for a mother, is on anxiety meds. She has just announced she is autistic, something I find funny as she has been around my daughter who really is autistic, she knows she is not. J started ti argue with her, I told him to let it go, because she didn’t chose being trans as her trend du jour, we should be grateful for small blessings. But I hate she is on anxiety meds, it cannot be good for developing brains.
Meanwhile, my children are all pains in the tails, but not on meds and making it in life - even the autistic one. Perhaps being the no rules mama, as J calls me, is working out in the end. Experience is a heck of a teacher!

Thanks. Last night was stressful as the memory care facility sent her to the wrong (as in worse) hospital so we had to deal with EMTALA and Medicare to get her transferred early this morning after she was stabilized enough to travel. She had never been a patient at that hospital and they had no paperwork, etc. for her.
Got her to the right one about 2 am my time and surgery started about 11 am after a flurry of calls granting permission over the phone. I live multiple states away from mom and my sister who lives in town as an invalid could not manage to deal with the crisis last night before breaking down in a migraine.

It's obnoxious, especially because actually having one of those disorders can make life hella difficult and TikTok idiots are turning it into some kind of status symbol. It trivializes the actual disorders for the sake of attention and clout, and I can tell you from experience it really REALLY pisses off people who actually have legitimate diagnoses and struggle to get through the day because of it.

I'd put up one of those tear the phone number deals for a roommate and she showed up. Initially seemed fairly normal. A respiratory therapist student. Having an affair with a married medical resident of the university med school (I found this out later). Shy. Never came out of her room to meet my friends, and I had a lot. Male friends coming over to have a beer and discuss their girlfriends. Parties. I couldn't figure her out.
Two male friends plus my bf/husband told me they thought she was very weird. Yep. Jealous and complained about "all of my friends." Ok. Once came to the kitchen at 0530 and screamed at me for ironing my nursing school uniform. I ignored her but should have ironed her face.
I came home from work one night to see that she'd stolen my coffee table (?) and some of my clothes. One a denim shirt my mother embroidered, which was a bummer.
I debated small claims court for the missed rent/utilities/theft but my gang said, nah, she's nuts. In other words, be glad she did not slit your throat in your sleep.

There used to be brands better than others but pretty much all printer driver software (really most hardware driver software) has been made into trash or neglected until the latest OS update breaks the drivers.
PITA it is. Scanners can be even worse which is why I have some vintage computers that are more or less offline from Windows XP SP3 to Win 7 for certain hardware/software. Refuse to keep buying and paying new prices for hardware/software to get the same functionality as working old tech.

Came in from actual productive activities and was reviewing the earlier posts, and on one someone mentioned competitors in the earlier days of McDonalds. I've never seen anybody mention Howdy's Burgers (maybe Howdies'). I believe a national chain, know it was in Boston in mid-sixties. Basic burger was 8¢ around 1967. Anybody else remember it. One I remember for certain was at the rt.1/rt.109 West Roxbury/Dedham intersection, on the Dedham side.
Anybody else remember this chain?

I’ve made an emergency bag to have at work for when I have meltdowns. So, 99% of my meltdowns (emotional dysregulation crisis) happen at work. (Long whine about mental issues, all the crap in the bag) Still missing: a cheap bruxism plaque because I bite my teeth hard from stress, and a note telling others how they can assist: don't keep too many people around, ask before you touch me, keep me where I am, I'll be fine, etc. Any other ideas?
I keep something for grounding each of my senses. Taste (candy, mints, gum), smell (tin of scented wax), etc. I also keep a protein bar and juice box for afterwards because that's when I go into shutdown and need help recovering energy. I also keep a mini notebook and pen so I can write everything out to help me process. And an instant ice pack to engage the mammalian dive reflex.
I keep a kit in my house, car, and office. I have multiple, so one's always accessible.
I wish I could do that at my job! I work in overnights in healthcare , so when someone presses their call button i can't have noise-cancelling headphones on or anything like that.

Maybe something similar is going on with anxiety. We don't have barbarian hordes galloping in from over the horizon to loot, rape, and burn. We don't have leopards puncturing Cousin Bob's skull and dragging his corpse up a tree for later consumption.
We're tuned to be on guard against threats, and the fact that we can't SEE a threat doesn't help. In fact, it makes it worse.

Increasingly MSFT is making their software junk too. I keep ONE computer with their combination spyware/OS/Office completely updated. I don't used it as a daily driver due to the chance that MSFT OS update borks the system so I am always about one week behind on installing any updates. Don't turn it on to update it if the current Win 11 update is borked and wait until the update is patched.

Major issue with Linux is old hardware works but sometimes gets borked when you transition things like routers--my home network is pretty sophisticated because I have wired the whole house with cat 8 cable with drops, use the 2.4 for wireless security and camera systems, and the 5 ghz for phones and laptop.
With the transition to webapps, even in Windows, the difference is a lot less than it used to be.

Printers are a PITA, generally. Paper handling is a bitch. What I would like to see: some company should bring out a cheap clone of the old HP Paintjet tractor-feed printer, with cartridges made to be user-refilled. And along with that, a service called PrintDash; you e-mail them your copy, and they set it up and print X numbers of copies to your specifications, and courier them to you. If it's something confidential, they will send an Uber to pick you up, along with your copy on a thumb drive, and take you to their shop, so you can print it yourself on an off-line printer.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Documents Relating to the Fake Ukraine "Whistleblower"
Some background:
Hans MahnckeI've linked that below. Basically, he stitched together a fragment from the beginning of a call with a sentence coming five minutes later. Like the BBC stitch-up.
@HansMahncke 22h In anticipation of tomorrow's release of the IG Michael Atkinson transcript, here is the TLDR of the story. In August 2019, a supposed "whistleblower" filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, targeting President Trump for his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. The complaint was based on second hand hearsay information and triggered the process that led to Trump's first impeachment. The allegation was that Trump demanded a quid pro quo, specifically military aid in exchange for an investigation into Biden family corruption in Ukraine. That claim was untrue, as the transcript later proved (I visualized the ridiculousness of the claim below).
But for Atkinson that part was no problem. He could just claim it was true. His problem was that the claim was hearsay and therefore didn't meet the requirements under his own rules. So Atkinson secretly changed the IG complaint form to allow hearsay. This was sharply identified by @MZHemingway, @climateaudit, and others in real time, by comparing the form to archived versions. They showed that Atkinson made an unannounced, backdated revision to rig the process and greenlight a politically motivated hearsay complaint that otherwise wouldn't have cleared even the most basic credibility bar.I know this is old news, but I personally needed the refresher, and I'm sure some other 29-year-old memories did as well.
Atkinson was never held to account, but he did testify under oath behind closed doors to the House Intelligence Committee in late 2019. While all other transcripts related to the Ukraine impeachment process were eventually released, this one has been guarded like radioactive material. It is now finally being made public, and will hopefully shed light on the internal mechanics of how Atkinson, Schiff, the Vindman brothers, and whoever else carried out the Ukraine impeachment scam.Update: Atkinson claimed, under oath, that it was all just a big coincidence of timing that he happened to change the rules at the same time this Democrat fake whistleblower wanted whistleblower protections the actual rules didn't allow him:
Hans MahnckeCatherine Herridge: the fake "whistleblower" was a registered Democrat who had worked previously with one of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates. I'm going to guess it was Eric Swalwell, but that is just a guess. Also, the fake "whistleblower" improperly met with Adam Schiff to plot out strategy before going through official channels.
@HansMahncke 2h One of the key episodes in the Ukraine impeachment saga was that, just as the fake “whistleblower” came forward with second- and third-hand claims, Inspector General Atkinson secretly changed the process to allow hearsay complaints, whereas previously only first-hand accounts were permitted. So now we know that when Atkinson was confronted about it, his explanation was that it was all just a giant coincidence. The problem is that even if someone wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, the fact that he concealed the change makes it obvious to anyone with two functioning brain cells that it wasn’t a coincidence at all.
Catherine Herridge
@C__Herridge 2h NEW: WHISTLEBLOWER 2019 TRUMP IMPEACHMENT
- Registered Democrat
- "had a prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates," according to newly released transcripts from the Intelligence Community watchdog Michael Atkinson. In a 2019 briefing to the house intelligence committee, Atkinson added, "I did not find the complainant (whistleblower) was biased." After seven years, the Atkinson records have been finally released @DNIGabbard
@RepRickCrawford
Catherine Herridge
@C__Herridge NEW RECORDS VIA @DNIGabbard @RepRickCrawford ATKINSON TRANSCRIPTS - First Trump Impeachment + Whistleblower Motive Whistleblower met with Democrats on House Intelligence Committee (then led by Adam Schiff) BEFORE reporting his allegations to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. October 2019: then Congressman now @CIADirector Ratcliffe nailed the timeline in a closed door briefing with Intelligence Community Watchdog Michael Atkinson. - Trump/Zelensky call July 25th 2019
- Whistleblower complaint filed August 12th
- Ratcliffe questioned what happened during those 18 days. Ratcliffe: The whistleblower did not disclose to you that he or she had contact with HPSCI (House Intelligence Committee)? Atkinson: The answer to that is yes. The answer to that is yes. Atkinson: On the urgent disclosure form, there's a question that the complainant is asked about who they have reported the violation to...and one of the boxes is the congressional intelligence committees. The complainant did not check that box.
More from Townhall's Matt Vespa:
Just The News:
The 2019 Trump impeachment effort was a sham -- we all know this. There were traces of truth peeking through this Democrat-manufactured push, which alleges a quid pro quo based on hearsay. The details of this fiasco involved then-Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and lied about having contact with the whistleblower who started this circus. The allegations were based on hearsay, with the analyst admitting he was a committed Democrat. As you might expect, he also had a history of political bias. He fit right in with the Deep State actors trying to derail the first Trump presidency. Now, newly declassified documents from the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, reveal that even this whistleblower's colleagues were skeptical of the spy craft, despite supporting the impeachment effort. One of the witnesses, identified as "witness #2," worked with disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was one of the main figures behind the Russian collusion hoax, and co-authored the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, ordered by Barack Obama before leaving office, which was full of flawed information to support the collusion narrative. To add, the whistleblower admitted to working closely with then-Vice President Joe Biden. This person also told the inspector general that he failed to mention he had spoken with Schiff before filing his complaint, apologized for this omission, but it was never made public.
What an absolute cowardly faggot. Now we see why the entire Democrat-Media Complex was so determined to hide his identity -- he's a shrieking sissy who's terrified of phantoms.
The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown to the public and whose lawyerly written letter accusing Trump of hijacking Ukraine policy for political gain was heralded by Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings. Investigators for the Intelligence Community Inspector General documented several concerns about the Trump accuser's political motives, noting he admitted he was a "registered Democrat" who had worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine issues and who disliked some of the conservative figures in the president's orbit, the memos show. The investigators also elicited an apology from the Trump accuser for misleading the probe and were acutely aware his allegations were based solely on second- and third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have said and done. "I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President," the alleged whistleblower, who claimed Trump improperly tried to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Hunter Biden, admitted in his initial August 2019 intake form. That stunning line on the limitations of the whistleblower's knowledge was not included in the nine-page letter then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., released in late summer 2019 that touched off a months-long political maelstrom and led to Trump's impeachment by a Democrat-led House and his eventual acquittal in the Senate.
The newly-released memos also laid out multiple self-admitted potential biases tied to Ciaramella's Democratic registration, his work for Joe Biden, his knowledge of corruption-related discussions on Ukraine, his view that he had been pushed out of the Trump NSC because of right wing bloggers and more. Some of the revelations were not made public until Sunday, and many were concealed from House investigators when the intelligence community inspector general appeared before members in October 2019. During the second since-declassified House Intelligence Committee session, on October 4, 2019, the newly-released transcripts show Atkinson stated: "As part of the complainant's interview, I had directed the interviewers to ask the complainant to self-disclose potential bias information. The complainant self-disclosed that the complainant was a registered member of the Democratic Party. The complainant also self-disclosed that the complainant had a prior professional relationship with one of the Democratic Presidential candidates for the 2020 election." ... The inspector general did not include details relating to Ciaramella's work with then-Vice President Joe Biden, the whistleblower's long-term focus on Ukraine, Ciaramella's travel to Ukraine with Biden, and the whistleblower's presence at discussions about the alleged corruption of Ukrainian prosecutors -- all admitted by Ciaramella to watchdog investigators, all related to the allegations raised by Trump with Zelensky, and all redacted from what was provided to the House Intelligence Committee at the time in 2019. Atkinson redacted other potential biases too. ... The redacted questioner told Atkinson during the 2019 session, "You've now said today that the complainant worked closely with one of the presidential candidates for the 2020 election" and asked "is that what is redacted in the first bullet point here?" "Yes," Atkinson told the House investigators. The redacted questioner noted to Atkinson in 2019 that "the second" section on Ciaramella's biases "is entirely redacted." "Second, Complainant worked for the President Trump White House for [Redacted] as an [redacted] was then asked by [Redacted] to be [redacted]," the more unredacted version of the memo made public on Sunday said. "Complainant said this was a very stressful job and [redacted] became the target of right-wing bloggers, such as [Redacted], and conspiracy theorists, and later received death threats, which caused [redacted] to leave [redacted] White House position and return to CIA. [Redacted] then accepted [redacted]. Complainant believes that [Redacted], a former colleague at the NSC and current HPSCI staffer for Nunes, provided [Redacted] with information about Complainant for use in his threatening blogs."
The memos also disclose numerous other details about the whistleblower and the intelligence community's assessment of his claims that weren't available to the public, including that the CIA analyst: * Appeared interested in thwarting then-Attorney General Bill Barr from probing Hunter Biden, even though Barr wasn't a member of the intelligence community covered by the complaint; * Disliked Republicans around Trump, including former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and current FBI Director Kash Patel. The documents show the alleged whistleblower even went so far as to make a "request for Nunes not to view the disclosure" as a member of Congress even though he was a member of the "Gang of Eight" leadership entitled to see such intelligence; * Impugned then-top Trump National Security Council staffer Michael Ellis, now the deputy CIA director, as "slippery and untrustworthy" during a voluntary interview;
* Claimed he was a victim of an intimidation campaign carried out by "right-wing bloggers"; and Worked on his whistleblower complaint with a witness whose name was redacted and who told investigators he was connected to Peter Strzok, the former FBI agent who was fired in 2019 for his role in leading the now-discredited Russia collusion probe.
In anticipation of tomorrow’s release of the IG Michael Atkinson transcript, here is the TLDR of the story.

It was the emails and texts that did her in. Fat Harv's testimony was that she pursued him, the sex was all consensual, it was he who broke it off with her, and that she kept pursing him long after the alleged rape.

The DOJ is suing every state for their voter rolls. DHS has access to Medicare and SSA data to track down illegals. ICE has deported more from the interior in the past year than the entire presidencies of the past 6 presidents or so. The fed grant funding machine that created the modern leftist ecosystem has been cut off at the knees.
I'd say that the actual current battlefield is Trump running roughshod over the left's current logistics apparatus while some small sliver of the federal government is pursuing a grand jury in Florida over charges that the left denied Donald Trump his civil rights.

This is why Congress is a false prize.
Congress has very limited investigatory authority and absolutely no enforcement authority outside a pocket case of being able to order the sergeant at arms to temporarily arrest someone.
Investigations, indictments, and prosecutions come from the DOJ.
Obama did more damage to the country through abuse of the DOJ than Democrats have done through Congressional action in decades. Losing Congress but keeping the DOJ is less than a speedbump.

Orban losing power was inevitable. Eventually. He'd been in office for 16 years. For good or ill, a politician who stays in office that long is pushing his luck when he runs again. A smart politician reads the tea leaves and prepares his party by grooming a viable successor.

Tyler Robinson Made a Full, Handwritten Confession to His Gay Furry Lover
Cavernous Nostrils hardest hit.
Court filings also reveal that Robinson was further implicated by the gray Converse sneakers he owns, matching the ones worn by the assassin as seen through campus surveillance cameras.
Accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson's full handwritten confession to his trans lover reveals just how twisted his plot was, according to newly unsealed court documents. The sick note -- in which Robinson refers to roommate lover Lance Twiggs as "Luna" -- was made public in full Thursday, as Robinson remains held for allegedly shooting the popular conservative media personality from a rooftop at Utah Valley University in September 2025. "Luna, if you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry," the note begins, presumably referring to a text Robinson had reportedly sent Twiggs moments after the assassination, telling his partner to "drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard." A search warrant affidavit obtained by Fox 13 confirmed the handwritten note was found under Twiggs' keyboard at a St. George, Utah, townhouse he and Robinson shared. The letter continues, "I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text. "I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it. "I don't know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you. I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together," Robinson wrote, according to court docs. "I lack the words to express how much I love you, and how very much you mean to me. Please try and find joy in this life. I love you, always, -Tyler," he concludes. Texts between Robinson and Twiggs, 22, have shown that the capital-murder suspect had been planning the grisly killing "a bit over a week," and offered insight into his train of thought in the moments afer the shooting -- as law enforcement launched a sweeping manhunt for the perpetrator. "I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet [sic], almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering," Robinson wrote in one text to Twiggs, the documents show. "Three hours ago there was an officer with a k9 walking nearby the area, hoping that pooch has a bad sniffer," another reads. "Im wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle, because it sounds like the police couldn't get in for a long while because of the traffic." The accused killer then alludes to passing the time by brazenly scouring social media: "guess im just sittin in my car watching reels for another hour, hopin this guy f--ks off [sic]." Robinson and Twiggs, who authorities have said was transitioning from male to female, then make a plan to rendezvous at their home. "I'm sorry, but I think this might be it," reads a text from Robinson, according to the docs. "If the way is clear I can try and come your way to say goodbye, after that I have a spot in mind that I'll call police to...I have no doubts they will be on me within the hour. And I will be giving my location up and going out on my own terms I have no intention of being drug through the courts in front of the country. Can I come see you?"
Unbelievably -- by which I mean, completely believably -- Me-Again Kelly "reported" on the handwritten confession before concluding that it would not change the minds of the conspiracy theorists, going on to repeat Cavernous Nostrils' objections as if they were grounded in reality, to wit, that because the letter is written in a "formal" tone that means it must be a planted fedslop fake. Me-Again doesn't endorse that claim -- she just describes it and suggests it's a real and reasonable objection. Anything to keep hold of Cavernous Nostrils' audience, now that all of her respectable non-deranged Republican audience has fled her.
A pair of gray Converse sneakers with white shoelaces helped authorities nail Tyler Robinson for Charlie Kirk's assassination, newly surfaced court documents reveal. Utah Valley University surveillance video captured Robinson, 22, sporting the kicks as he bizarrely moved around the campus in the moments leading up to the Sept. 10, 2025, fatal shooting from a campus building rooftop, according to a search-warrant affidavit unsealed Thursday. Investigators later found a shoe impression from the rooftop that was "consistent with the shoe sole characteristics of a Converse/Chuck Taylor shoe" that Robinson was wearing at the time, the affidavit stated. A separate court document noted that police later recovered a pair of "grey Converse shoes with white laces" from Robinson's St. George family home while executing a search warrant. The accused capital-murderer was captured on video footage 33 minutes before the fatal gunfire, when he was seen walking through a grassy area on campus, then through a parking lot and pedestrian tunnel.
Oh look, Candace Owens, conspiracy theorist wannabe Megyn Kelly, is finally coming to the realization that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk!

Seems the used Grok to analyze the Bigfoot footage.
You know, the one where he's walking a looks over his shoulder at the camera man?
Anyway, it concluded that is was likely real, in that it had no evidence of manipulation in the video; that the subject did not appear to be in an animal suit and that it matched no known species.
Or: We don't know what it was, or was not.
Still, kinda cool analysis--if it was really done.

Plastic surgery and botox. But even so, Pick-Me-Again Kelly was never that attractive. Yes, she was pretty and had a nice body. But she was always graded on the curve because most women in her profession are hideous crones or melting-face scunts.
It's sorta like when you see a girl protesting at some commie antifa event and she's mid. But she's surrounded by mutant lepers and rotting piles of offal. So she looks much better looking than she really is.

Evidence indicates that it's more basic and internal than that. It's the effort and expense they go through to "transition," and the subsequent crashing disappointment. The transition was supposed to bring them peace, comfort, self-love, satisfaction, closure, in direct proportion to the torment they felt before. When life is no different, they're worse off than they were before, no hope, no relief, no future.

Luigi is another matter, though there was a NYC jury that went against the narrative in a lower-profile but politically charged thing recently. 75% seems fair.

What evidence? A grainy video of a guy we are told is Tyler Robinson jumping off a building with we are told with a gun. There's zero video of someone on the roof firing on the roof, the crime scene being destroyed promptly, Charlie not being taken the the nearest hospital...the whole thing is sketchy.
Utah police records show TYLER ROBINSON was ALREADY IN CUSTODY WHEN DISCORD KIRK 'CONFESSION' text MESSAGES were SENT.

Defense already rejected Joe Kent as a witness in the case. Expert witnesses have to be qualified by the court and as he has no fact pattern knowledge of the event itself, he would not be useful as a regular witness to the case.
My guess is defense is probably going to try an insanity defense or a plea deal rather than TODDI (the other dude did it). Evidence is pretty damning including video, palm prints, ownership of the rifle, the note, etc. The whole Forensics bullshit on the bullet comes from a hunting bullet can do strange things and get mangled in a shooting of human bodies (or animals). Add in at an angle, the whole bullshit narrative of Candace Ovens never made sense in the first place, now it makes even less sense akin to flat eartherism that Tyler was not the shooter.

Saw a clip from a show called "the Good Doctor" where the super surgeon is autistic (because according to Hollywood, its a superpower, not a handicap). He is talking to a homosexual man who had a baby with another homosexual "man" and the autistic doctor is baffled how he can call himself homosexual. the other doctors and nurses rush him away before he can offend the patient with logic and biological fact.

She was good in Office Space, but because of the writing. Jennifer herself didn't bring anything to the role that seventy other actresses could not.
And while I liked unforgiven a lot, its a deconstruction of a western, and far from the best of the genre in my opinion. If I had to choose it would probably be The Cowboys, or Pale Rider.

A black Helen of Troy (assuming it actually happens, there's been no confirmation what role Lupinto is playing) will be no impediment to the film making $1 billion at the box office.
Luigi voice actor Charlie Day said that Luigi Mangioni is one of his favorite Luigi's right before Super Mario Galaxy opened, and it didn't affect the box office at all.

Then finally he comes to the Indian hell and finds a very long queue of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, 'What do they do here?' And to his surprise, once again he receives the same answer.
He exclaims, 'What the hell! That's exactly the same as all the other hells-so what's the long queue for?"
He receives the response: 'Because maintenance is so bad the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Government of India bureaucrat - so he comes in, signs the register and then goes off to the cafeteria...'

Health insurance is an odd thing.
I have insurance on my house. If it burns down or something the company pays. If I need a new roof or sink I pay for it because insurance isn't supposed to cover normal wear and tear.
But...health insurance covers, apparently everything. So it isn't even insurance.

Nolan built up a pretty solid list of movies...but it looks like he is about to throw it away with Woke Odysseus
There are a lot of red flags about that movie, but we don't know enough about it to be certain yet. Just... a lot of stuff that makes me cringe. Zendaya as Athena. Nolan saying he wants to make a more "grounded" story. Black, meh looking Helen of Troy. So many concerns.

A black Helen of Troy (assuming it actually happens, there's been no confirmation what role Lupinto is playing) will be no impediment to the film making $1 billion at the box office.
Luigi voice actor Charlie Day said that Luigi Mangioni is one of his favorite Luigi's right before Super Mario Galaxy opened, and it didn't affect the box office at all.
Why?
Because these controversies are tempests in tea cups and don't derail pre-existing interest.

Brave AI has a decent summary.
"The shot that killed Charlie Kirk was fired from approximately 130 to 200 yards (120 to 180 meters) away, with multiple sources providing slightly varying estimates based on forensic and video analysis. The gunman was positioned on the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University, roughly 140–175 yards from Kirk’s speaking location under an open-air tent. "
The difficulty of the shot is shooting downhill (an uphill shot is also more difficult) because it requires thinking in 3d when most people are accustomed, outside those that hunt in the mountains, of shooting flat and level (2d) on ranges with flat shooting cartridges between point blank firing range and maximum point blank range. On a flat range, fairly easy to compensate for the minor differences in powder charge/pressure and bullet weight. Not so on shooting at altitude differences between shooter and target.
Makes it harder without equipment to compensate to judge distances as well. No mention yet of dickhead tyler using a range finder and previously checking the range distance before the assassination.

The correct term is health care rationing. On scarce resources, you either get rationing by price or rationing by politics. Dems want rationing by politics eventually because it gives them more control over the people by a direct way to threaten them. No one likes the tradeoffs between price and healthcare but the right tolerates it far more than the left.

There's a growing rift between the Catholic faithful and Church leadership on certain issues. The left within the Church is trying to undo that and bring the American Catholic laity more in line with where we were a decade ago, closer to 50/50.
2024, the Catholic vote was 56-44 after years of oscillating around 50/50. A hard right turn. Using the authority of the papacy to try and bring that back probably won't work.
I mean, we ignored Francis for more than a decade. We can ignore Leo, too.

Proof of how great "Unforgiven" is comes from
the Japanese remake,
"Yurusarezaru Mono", which itself is a very good movie but with more story that gets in the way the main story and theme.
It never reaches the mythic anti-mythic heights of "Unforgiven" because the story isn't as clean.
Still, Ken Watanabe does a great job in the Clint Eastwood role.

Little Bill protests he don't deserve to die, and Munny more or less says, "I don't give a shit. You are going to die because I can make it happen and I'll have my vengeance" for Ned (and himself to a lesser extent, for the beating Bill put on him). That's it. There's really no should or ought contained there as a moral lesson. Munny kills Bill because he's a violent sonofabitch who can (and in fairness that was kinda Bill's view of the law too). If there's a message in all this slaughter, to me it's more along the lines of "Those who live by the sword die by the sword." Grim, perhaps. But not nihilistic.

Same, friend. I have found a church home where things aren’t perfect (humans being what they are) but I hav never felt closer to Jesus and more settled in my faith. That said, I am not going to trash others and their faith (please note I am not saying you are), I am grateful for anyone who is going to church and doing what works for them. But I won’t return to the Catholic Church.

Yes, they get a quick bump in negotiating power, as well as being celebrated.
Michael B. Jordan was going to star in the new version of Miami Vice before he won his Oscar. As soon as he won his Oscar, he doubled his price, and the studio will most likely pay it.
Tom Hooper won his Oscar for Best Director on The King's Speech and convinced the studio to pay for a CGI heavy adaptation of CATS.
The Oscars are very important in the industry. They help drive some large decisions for the biggest awards.

My totally winging it take of a dead religious sect is that the Sadducee saw the whole Jewish ethnicity and religion as immortal, not individuals.

Trump's Blockade of the Strait of America Begins
The U.S. on Monday said it began blocking ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, attempting to ratchet up pressure on Iran to reopen the key oil route after peace negotiations collapsed. As the 10 a.m. ET deadline passed for the blockade to take effect, President Donald Trump warned Iran's "fast attack ships" not to come near the U.S. forces enforcing the closure. "If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It is quick and brutal." A White House official confirmed to CNBC that the blockade has taken effect. Trump had announced the blockade plan Sunday in a social media post slamming Iran for refusing to give up its nuclear ambitions and accusing Tehran of "WORLD EXTORTION" by continuing to throttle traffic through the strait. The U.S. blockade applies to "any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said. The U.S. Central Command later added the caveat that American forces "will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports." "The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman," CENTCOM specified.
This is a very Trumpian move. It flips the script -- you're blocking our ships? Okay, now we're blocking yours. I think this is an improvisation, a gamble made because Iran just will not agree to any of Trump's ceasefire demands. What's the goal? Miad Maleka explains:
U.S. to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports TAMPA, Fla. -- U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President's proclamation. The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports. Additional information will be provided to commercial mariners through a formal notice prior to the start of the blockade. All mariners are advised to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.
Miad MalekiThis is tough: The IRGC will wind up destroying much of Iran's future oil production to cling to power.
@miadmaleki 1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month. Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue. 2/10 CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting ~1.5M barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing (~$87/barrel), though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions. A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, gone.
/10 PETROCHEMICALS: Iran exported $19.7B in petrochemicals in 9 months of 2024/25, ~$54M/day. Virtually all of it ships through Assaluyeh, Imam Khomeini, and Shahid Rajaee, all inside the blockade zone. No overland route can move these volumes. Another $54M/day, gone. 4/10 NON-OIL EXPORTS: Iran's non-oil trade hit $51.7B in 2025. After subtracting petrochemicals, ~$88M/day in goods (minerals, metals, etc.) flow through Persian Gulf ports. Roughly 90% would be blocked. That's another ~$79M/day in lost revenue. ... 7/10 IMPORTS: Iran imported $58B in goods in 2025, ~$159M/day. A blockade chokes off industrial inputs, machinery, and consumer goods. Food inflation already hit 105% by February 2026. Rice prices are up 7x. This gets dramatically worse under blockade. Blockade will hopefully allow offloading of the humanitarian cargos. /10 Extremely important topic is the storage clock: Iran has ~50-55M barrels of total onshore oil storage, roughly 60% full. Spare capacity: ~20M barrels. With 1.5M bbl/day of surplus production that normally exports, storage fills in ~13 DAYS. After that, Iran must shut in wells.
In addition, Iran has been collecting "tolls" from ships it allows to pass, most of which are, I assume, taking oil to Iran's allies like India and China. The blockade not only strips Iran of this "toll" money, but will cause Iran's allies to pressure it into conceding. Will this work? I don't know. Another question is, will it cut into the IRGC faster than it punishes the people suffering under the tyranny of the Islamic Occupational Army? Again, I don't know.
Why is this very important: when mature oil wells shut down, bottom water rushes in, a process called water coning. Oil droplets get permanently trapped in rock pores. This oil can never be recovered. Iran's fields already decline 5-8% annually. Forced shut-ins could permanently destroy 300,000-500,000 bbl/day of production capacity, that's $9-15B/year in revenue, gone forever. 9/10 CURRENCY COLLAPSE ACCELERANT: The rial has already cratered from 42,000 to 1.5M per dollar. Banks are limiting withdrawals to $18-30/day. Overall inflation: 47.5%. A blockade eliminating all forex earnings pushes the rial into terminal hyperinflation. The regime issued its largest-ever banknote, 10M rials, worth about $7. 10/10 BOTTOM LINE: A naval blockade imposes ~$435M/day in combined economic damage. Storage fills in 13 days, forcing well shut-ins that cause permanent reservoir damage. The rial enters terminal collapse. Iran's alternatives outside the Strait can replace less than 10% of Gulf throughput. The blockade makes continued resistance economically impossible.

Ummm, no.
Water coning occurs when producers pump wells too FAST.
Some types of reservoirs and wells do not respond favorably to extended shut in periods. I do not know the particulars of the Iranian reservoirs, but that statement above is not correct.
Further, Iran's oil fields are not monolithic. If any of their smart engineers are left, I assume they will keep pumping the "at risk" fields and shut in the fields that will not suffer.
OTOH, Trump is applying a ton of pressure!

being aggressively implementing a standing policy/tactic against Iranian exports - seizure of ships and diversion of revenues therefrom to escrow accounts. Just as we did with Venezuelan shipping prior to their little helicopter-enhanced management change. Pretty sure we've done this with Iranian ships, under sanctions policy, in the past, and that's recent past.
Still don't understand why that is not being done. It would shut down exports about as quickly as this blockade. It can be performed anywhere, not just at the Strait or in the Gulf. Regime's not gonna try very hard to export when they see no $$ from the activity.

You also forget, the Saudis have a pipeline to the Red Sea. It was supposed to be opened in three years. It opened this week - someone was lying about the timeline. 7 million barrels a day, exported. So, Gulf oil companies can now bypass the straight.
China is now in Talks with Qatar for more oil. Iran's own patron is writing them off.
It means the world is simply going to move on without Iranian oil. So now Iran must demand the straight be opened - switching positions with the U.S.

Still don't understand why that is not being done. It would shut down exports about as quickly as this blockade. It can be performed anywhere, not just at the Strait or in the Gulf. Regime's not gonna try very hard to export when they see no $$ from the activity.

You also forget, the Saudis have a pipeline to the Red Sea. It was supposed to be opened in three years. It opened this week - someone was lying about the timeline. 7 million barrels a day, exported. So, Gulf oil companies can now bypass the straight.

The East-West pipeline has been operable but not much used for decades, prepared for an event like this. Doesn't cover all the oil but covers a lot.

Day 1, they still had ballistic missiles, mines, and lots of drones. Probably lots of American losses anticipated. I like the facade of reserved geopolicy making, honestly, using all the tools in the toolbox.

If the United States had ramped up drone production following the Israeli-Iranian conflict in June 2025, we could already have killed enough Basiji and IRGC in the major cities that the remainder wouldn't be capable of suppressing dissent. But there doesn't seem to have been much, if any preparation for this conflict.

The geography is very favorable. All Iranian cargoes emerge from a very small area. Monitoring/intercepting is not difficult.
All "ghost fleet" ships present no new issues at all. Dunno what % of Iranian oil exports (or others) are carried by non-ghost fleet hulls, doubt it's that high. In any case, if you're killing heads of state with airstrikes as part of an operation, you should be ready to do something like fully enforce an already existing (and "UN approved") policy.

I was reading a Euronik thread a few days ago where the Euroniks had decided that whether or not Americans voted for Trump we were all collectively responsible because on one was actively trying to remove him.
A few American lefties tried arguing they were going to No Kings rallies but the Euroniks still argued they had a collective responsibility.
And then you read their takes on the WoT or this conflict with Iran and it is comical.

******************************
From early on in this conflict, there have been videos of drone strikes on Iranian regime checkpoints. It doesn't seem as if Iran has any effective anti-drone systems; they've been bragging about a handful of drones downed. This implies that a sufficient number of drones could have blasted thousands, or tens of thousands, of Basiji/IRGC at checkpoints, or driving around in vehicles, or various other situations that could easily be called in by the Iranian resistance, until the Basiji/IRGC began to melt away and a general uprising could be signaled.
But America & Israel evidently haven't stockpiled anywhere near enough drones to achieve this, even though this would have been relatively cheap compared to the actual operations thus far (and continuing).

And make no mistake - if a liberated Iran comes out the other end of this thing, we will just have another country we liberated that immediately turns around and shits on us at every opportunity, just like all the other countries we've helped out of a jam.

When the ceasefire was first announced, Iran fired a bunch of missiles at Israel and a few Gulf states, under the pretext that the ceasefire hadn't yet taken effect. Iran doesn't seem to have been conducting any attacks since then, except on shipping. I assume that if Iran fired any missiles or sent any drones against Israel this would prompt Israel to renew operations against Iran, and similarly that the United States would respond to further attacks by Iran against Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, or the United Arab Emirates.

Queer Keir was also a buttbuddy of Lord Ali (a Pakistani) who gave Keir all sorts of 'gifts' and appears to be kissing Keir on the street in a video.

I've only seen confirmation that two ships paid the toll, and that was like three weeks ago.
There have also been assertions that a couple of European governments have paid the tolls directly to Iran...which is not how tolls work.

Oh, we was doing that in the series. I just don't understand where Walter Koenig or the writers came up with the idea that Russian-speakers pronounce "v" as "w." The "w" sound really doesn't exist in Russian, except kinda-sorta in loanwords. But the "v" sound is all over the place.

I wonder if it's like the Triganic Pu in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.-
The Triganic Pu is a unit of galactic currency, with an exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu. This is simple enough, but, since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change.

They've completely sabotaged their relationships with the Gulf states. Saudi Arabia is the most vocal "finish them off" voice in the world now.
They can hope to wait things out...but the IRGC has siphoned off major elements of their Iraqi militias to subdue the Persian population. They're pulling foreign assets to cling to power and starvation hasn't started yet.
And the top 40 government officials not in the IRGC are going to be easily tracked when they get back from Islamabad with the clock ticking on the ceasefire running out.

I think this ship blocking (and financial devastation on Iran) is giving them a taste of how we can hurt them with minimal effort. Eventually, there will be a back door deal that will include dropping a number of sanctions, re-opening the Straits, and a look the other way when Special Forces show up and take the Uranium. Iran just giving it over makes them look weak, and for the same tyrannical jackasses to hold onto power, they have to do a little Kabuki theater on the Uranium acquisition.

'COVID-19 drives gas, oil prices to their highest in 7 years.'
In part, The average price is $1.08 higher than it was a year ago.
👉Prices jumped this past week when OPEC said it would not boost oil production in the middle of a global shortage caused by deep production cuts at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We can thank just about everything that we’re seeing now on the fact that COVID stifled consumer demand long enough that it caused prices to collapse, which caused production to collapse,” said Patrick De Haan, petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

It's obvious that the choice of the Gayatollah in a coma as leader is that whatever the antebellum power structure had been is now dead.
The IRGC has taken full control, and they're fractured by design since their top leadership has been taken out.
The ceasefire was for rearming. The talks were for kabuki.

Leonard Nimoy (Spock): Appeared in all episodes except for the pilot "The Cage" and a few others.
William Shatner (Kirk): Appeared in every episode after the pilot, but was absent from the original pilot.
DeForest Kelley (McCoy): Joined in the second pilot and was not in "The Cage".
Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel/Computer Voice): While she did not appear on-screen in every episode as Nurse Chapel, she did voice the Enterprise computer in almost all episodes, and appeared as Number One in the pilot, then Chapel in the series.
Other cast members like George Takei (Sulu), James Doohan (Scotty), and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) were also missing from various episodes due to acting rotation or budgetary restrictions.

you mostly see the pupil/cornea on a gorilla at rest. I'm sure they CAN open their eyes wide enough! but typically the direction of focus is not visible. only two mammals - one being humans - have visible white sections ergo visible point of focus for the pupils
and one more. it's very close to us, usually.

Leadership decided that the limitations on the strait would be an acceptable "loss" early in the conflict. The focus was on ballistic missiles and leadership and known nuclear sites. That was the priority.
Part of that campaign was most likely any sort of surface to ship capabilities Iran has.
And...ships have been going through for weeks. Lloyd's has asserted that they would insure the ships as a wartime risk, especially after Treasury said they'd reinsure. Inbound ships that are too afraid have redirected to our Gulf coast.
And plans to bypass the strait completely with pipelines are being fast tracked.

This follows a January court filing in which the government conceded that DOGE associates may have improperly accessed sensitive data at the agency.
A DOGE employee signed an agreement to share SSA data with an unnamed political advocacy group that wanted to overturn election results in certain states, the government said in a correction to the record. That filing also revealed that much of DOGE’s data access occurred outside of official protocols — and that SSA still doesn’t know the full scope of DOGE’s data access and sharing, which included the use of an unauthorized server.
... but they didn't show that these activities would cause or have caused irreparable harm was likely without action from the court

Yeah he did himself no favors with that, what a stupid, unforced error. Usually his instincts are better than that.

Very, very late to this thread, but I had to comment on Chekhov not being in every Star Trek episode. This is absolutely true, and relevant to the movie Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan. Chekhov was not in Space Seed, the episode that introduced Khan Noonian Singh. Because of this, there was no way Khan would have recognized Chekhov in ST2.

Airdrop in AK47's and grenades just like we did in WW2
For the price of a few interceptor missiles we can blanket Tehran with grenades and Ak's

I simply cannot shake the feeling that they thought 99.9999 percent that the Iranian people would have risen up and put the mullahs out by now and thus a Plan B wasn't necessary. That's what this feels like unfortunately. I truly hope I'm wrong.
